Star Fire will probably start favourite for this following last month's victory at Bath. But she is 5lb higher and has only managed one place in four previous tries on the all weather so may not be much value. Fairway To Heaven found Spring Loaded too good when joint favourite at Windsor last time but still finished ahead of Vincentti and Guishan and has place claims along with Evening Attire, another to be in the frame at Windsor last time. COOL BAHAMIAN is back in this grade for the first time since successful at Newmarket in August. He is only 3lb higher and has plenty of form on Polytrack so a big run is anticipated. Showtime Star was well beaten at Brighton last time but is much better on this surface and makes more appeal than Elusivity, who is something of a 5f specialist.
