ELEUTHERA showed improved form on his first start since June when second over track and trip a fortnight ago. Kevin Ryan's charge looks the one to beat on that form. Rampers returns to this venue for the first time since finishing second in a handicap here in July but has a bit to find with Kyllukey on these terms if the latter handles today's surface. Oh What A Species showed early speed over 6f at Wolverhampton last time and could go well while Bomber Etches is related to a handful of winners and is a newcomer to note.
