Permission Granted was winning for only the second time in 22 attempts when successful at Ayr last month and is 5lb higher. ABINGTON PARK is preferred as he’s placed in both outings since winning at Hexham in August having found only the progressive Uno Mas too good at Huntingdon last time and the good ground suits. Fraterculus finished closer at Ludlow having slid down the weights and is another to consider in this lower grade while Our Idic Boy ran well at Taunton recently and races from out of the weights once again.
