Totally Magic and Im Dapper Too were both successful in this grade at Newcastle and Carlisle respectively on their latest starts. Al Nasser Alwashik drops back in class and went close at Thirsk in July while Southern Gailes will take advantage of a slide down the weights before long and is preferred to both Poet's Song and The Salmon Man, who look stuck on their current marks. But RALPHY BOY was runner-up at Beverley last time and Alistair Whillans’ charge may prove good enough back here for the first time since scoring over track and trip in August.
