Back on the same mark as when scoring at Redcar back in April, FIELDGUNNER KIRKUP is taken to repeat last year's win in this. David Barron's charge has his ground and can reverse recent running with Our Boy Jack at Newcastle. The latter has subsequently found Celtic Sixpence too good over track and trip and Nick Kent's mare is upped 7lb while Lastchancelucas has something to prove over today's longer trip. Al Muheer has had little respite from the handicapper despite struggling since winning at Chester in June but stablemate Klynch has tumbled down the weights and may take advantage before the end of the season.
