SACRED SQUARE, placed at Perth and Huntingdon in his last two starts, looks to have a decent opportunity to get off the mark in this as there has to be a question mark over course winner Pair Of Jacks, who produced a shocker at Wetherby in May and hasn't been seen since. Camachoice was beaten 17 lengths when second at Uttoxeter in July and even further at Newton Abbot next time. Dennis has won on the Flat but it's a while since her showed any worthwhile form.
