Nelson River popped up at 20/1 on the all-weather recently when attempting today’s trip for the first time. There should be more to come from him but the likely soft ground is a worry for Contrebasse, a winner at Doncaster in July. Handsome Bob finished in front of Sempre Presto when winning over 1m5f at Ayr but has been well beaten subsequently but Reactive has more scope than most and could go well. ORMESHER landed a double in soft going over hurdles recently and Donald McCain’s charge gets another chance back on the Flat for the first time since July.
