Glan Y Gors is only 2lb higher than when scoring at Cartmel in July but RAECIUS FELIX is clearly at the top of his game at present and may be capable of defying a further 4lb rise to complete the hat-trick. Myburg was third over hurdles here last month after a break and is the only other course winner in the line-up while Bari Breeze is still unexposed, though lacks a recent outing. Big Changes was easily beaten in a match at Wetherby on Wednesday.
