Ace Master is clear at the weights but hasn't raced since August while Mon Brav also returns to action and was well beaten in previous starts at the track albeit a few years ago now. Both Sartori and Monsieur Jimmy beat the same rival for their respective wins over track and trip with the latter coming out just the best on collateral form while Coiste Bodhar and Monsieur Jamie have both won over 5f here this year. ABI SCARLET does not arrive in the best of form but is a prolific course and distance winner and this looks her level nowadays. She gets a tentative vote.
