Irish import Humaniste is flattered by a rating of 129 on recent form. Al Kherb was second in a handicap here in August but would not want any further rain. FORT DE L’OCEAN is probably better over fences but did win over timber at Uttoxeter in June and this is not a particularly strong seller. Splinter was entered at Uttoxeter yesterday while Fast Deal has an alternative engagement today at Market Rasen.
