Nonrunner
King's Song was tailed off at Hexham on Friday night but Bus Named Desire only found one too good at Worcester last time and Peaceful Gardens was second at Newton Abbot in June. Barneby could improve this winter while Darnitnev was runner-up over course and distance in the spring and never going the pace over shorter at Newton Abbot last time. IZBUSHKA has disappointed in his last two runs but did pick up a win in a similar contest at Fakenham in the spring. He's only a four-year-old so looks a better long-term prospect than most of these.
