Qibtee won one of these events in heavy ground at Nottingham last month under today's amateur but RAINFORD GLORY gets a token vote. He was upped in class at Doncaster last time but scored in this grade at Redcar under Harriet Dukes before that. Royal Etiquette went close in an amateur's race at Ripon earlier and Power Up was placed at Beverley for today's rider in September. Automotive won at Wolverhampton last time and is only 2lb higher while The Yank has been winning over fences and Alshan Fajer should be in the mix once again.
