's probably fair to say most of these have seen better days and this is unlikely to take much winning. Motafarred ran well when runner-up on his belated reappearance over C&D last month and Hanagan's booking suggests a certain amount of stable confidence that he'll go one better. But we'll give a final chance to ELIJAH PEPPER, who has been holding his own in similar company all season and deserves a change of luck. Willow Dancer won at Lingfield in June and has been rested since running poorly at Kempton shortly after. He may be the pick of the remainder but any result is normally possible in a race of this nature.
