They All Laughed was disqualified from second place at Haydock when last seen in August after his jockey failed to weigh in at the correct weight so Peter Hiatt's gelding may be worth another chance on a track that suits him well and he gets the vote ahead of Bolckow and Calculating. The last mentioned remains a maiden after 12 starts but did go well in a maiden here last time so he has to be respected. Jeu De Roseau is another that has yet to win a race and may struggle to do so here, while Bentley Brook has only scored once from 26 starts. Bolckow has claims on the pick of his form, including here at Southwell but They All Laughed has solid claims and he is preferred.
