SANDFRANKSKIPSGO is one of number of veteran sprinters in the care of owner/trainer Peter Crate, all of whom continue to pay their way. The Piccolo gelding was last seen obliging at Newbury in August and has suggested his turn is near with solid placed efforts the last twice. He should prove competitive off a mark of 76 and is taken to reverse recent running with Tailwind. The Hannon charge responded well to blinkers when making all on that occasion but has yet to convince on Turf whereas the selection is quite at home on this surface. None of the remainder can be ignored with One Big Surprise and Brighton specialist Otomo both capable of their day.
Tailwind 4-1 (9-0) Pressed leader, led after 1f, clear over 2f out, reduced advantage inside final 100 yards, just held on, won at Lingfield 5f hcp (4) pol in May beating Menelik (9-5) by shd, 7 ran.
Rosealee (IRE) 7-1 (9-12) Mid-division, headway over 1f out, pressed for 3rd inside final furlong, kept on, 4th of 10, 3l behind Trick of The Light (9-4) at Bath 6f hcp (4) gf in Jun.

Otomo 10-11fav (9-5) Dwelt, soon recovered pressing leader, led narrowly 4f out and maintained strong pace, edged left over 2f out, ridden over 1f out, headed and weakened inside final furlong, 4th of 6, 8 1/4l behind Goodwood Crusader (9-9) at Brighton 6f hcp (5) gs in Jun.
Mossgo (IRE) 20-1 (8-7) Went right start, led, hung left under pressure and headed approaching final furlong, chased leader and every chance inside final furlong, weakened and lost places towards finish, 7th of 9, 1 1/2l behind Brother Tiger (8-13) at Lingfield 5f hcp (4) pol in May.
