The last five winners have been drawn in single figures which could rule out the consistent Landing Light from his wide berth. Henry Candy wouldn't be sending African Friend this far north without good reason though the Windsor maiden winner is on the wide outside next to Bogart, who likes it here though is another poorly berthed as is his conqueror here in May, Elysian Flyer. The lightly-raced Eternalist has a good draw and won a minor handicap here in June but a chance is taken, in a wide-open handicap, with OLIVIA FALLOW. Paul Midgley's mare wasn't suited by a visor at Catterick last time and hasn't won since scoring here two years ago but she's now dropped to a mark she should be capable of winning from.
