Between The Waters hasn’t been running badly, but doesn’t look like a winner in waiting and may struggle here under top weight, so preference is for RAISING HOPE (NAP). She has been in consistent form this summer, including when finishing second over 3m2f last time and is likely to be suited by this drop back in trip. Shaiyzar probably needs a little help from the handicapper at the moment, as does the veteran That's The Deal, who has been penalised for winning a weak-looking race at Fakenham. Double Chocolate was pulled up in both of his last two outings and Zama Zama also appears to be in decline.
