Border Legend steps up in trip in an attempt to land his first handicap but Stellar Express is now 9lb higher than when scoring at Chester in July. Demonic will be a popular choice making his handicap debut but hasn't raced since May and PERSONABLE is preferred. Charlie Appleby's colt has a recent belated comeback under his belt after going close at Ponterfract and is taken go one better in this. Sheila's Buddy has decent claims on his recent second at Newmarket as he drops back down in class and makes more appeal than both Angelic Upstart and Amoya.
