Patrick Corbett's claim takes care of Worcester winner My Lad Percy's penalty and he should be thereabouts again. Bad Made had a promising start at Uttoxeter while Cevaro was favourite when third at Southwell in July though, like Old Pals Act, may need more time. Generalise and Vinnie The Fish could be newcomers worth watching and so is Peter Bowen's mare THE ROAD AHEAD, who has a half-decent pedigree and may be allowed to start at generous odds here considering some bigger stables have runners. Pure Style won an Irish point-to-point in June and could also figure.
