Bishops Finger has shown little thus far and now steps up in trip. Downtherefordancin's best run came on heavy going at Nottingham. Dr Julian is another stepping up in trip after showing form enough to be competitive at this level. Robbo's Rocket, another stepping up in distance, proved she stayed seven furlongs when just beaten at Catterick in August by Mister Rushby. Working on form through the same horse then Scrappy Doo is closely weighted with Robbo's Rocket on seven-furlong runs at Catterick (when Scrappy Doo was blinkered for first time). Ace In The Hole has failed to progress and made no real show on Wolverhampton's Fibresand surface last time. Arfabeat is another stepping up in trip, but was well held in a seller at Lingfield last time. Arte Et Labore is related to plenty of winners and has improved of late for a step up in trip. Passionate makes her AW debut and has bits of form. It is not a strong race and, also, not an easy one to call. It might just be worth siding with Robbo's Rocket at the type of trip that suits him better, and he gets the TEAMtalk vote.
