Verdict

Gracie's Gift beat Albero Di Giuda when he was last seen winning over course and distance. He isn't too harshly punished for that win in June and is expected to challenge with Frank Sheridan's runner-up on that occasion. SCRUFFY SKIP gets the vote returned to his favoured course after running poorly on the turf at Brighton and Lingfield. He has had a short break since June and if coming back reinvigorated he could score at a decent price given his fine form on the Fibresand this year and the decent low draw.
