Just the six runners but all have some sort of chance, though Kajaki has been racing over longer trips. STONIFIC is very capable on his day as he showed at Market Rasen earlier this month. He’s gone up 3lb for a narrow victory but this is a weaker contest. For Three was a winner here at the start of the month but is up against better opposition today. Golden Town is hard to win with but Stuart Crawford’s pair Bellaney Gem and Island Mahee should be thereabouts with the former boasting the more recent form.

Golden Town (IRE) 20-1 (11-6) Held up, tailed off 3rd, made some late headway from 2 out, never dangerous, 7th of 8, 24 3/4l behind Alqamar (11-7) at Cartmel 2m 1f hcp (3) gd in Jul.
Kajaki (IRE) 10-1 (11-8) Chased leaders, mistake 4 out, stumbled 3 out, 3rd and weakening 2 out, 3rd of 11, 22 1/4l behind First Account (11-8) at Perth 2m 4f hcp (4) sft in Jul.
