FOXTROT KNIGHT won this last year when 3lb higher. Nothing went right for Ruth Carr’s charge here last time and he’s entitled to reverse earlier Wolverhampton running with Zapper Cass at the revised weights – Dandy’s Beano also looks held. Nibras Again hasn’t been disgraced in any of his three runs this term but he’s gone up a couple of pounds since his latest second at Ripon. Musharrif and Van Gerwen are closely matched on their 1-2 here in October and could also play a part with One Boy possibly best of the rest.
