New Hampshire carries a penalty for last week's win at Catterick but that came on fast ground over a longer trip. He faces different conditions here and Little Rocky makes more appeal having got off the mark over 1m2f at Newbury in July. Kalk Bay recorded a double at Beverley last month and handles most types of going but Las Verglas Star has crept back up the weights without winning. SIRVINO hasn't won this year but, with an apprentice's claim taken into account, he's 9lb lower than when beaten three lengths in the Wolferton at Ascot in June. That form looks solid as subsequent dual winner Black Spirit finished runner-up and David Barron's charge can take this with a similar effort.
