Plenty with claims in a competitive handicap including Nice Style, who ran well in a Listed event here last time. Mull Of Killough is also a contender if lasting home as he went close over a mile here on his latest start. New Hampshire and Mountain Range step up in class but have scope for improvement, while Hidden Glory is not easily dismissed back on the Polytrack having scored on turf for the first time at Nottingham three weeks ago. However HANOVERIAN BARON was having his first start since May when fourth over 1m 4f at Doncaster earlier this month and, back over his best trip today, Tony Newcombe's charge gets the nod.
