PENNFIELD PIRATE is taken to land the last. In good form with a win and almost a follow-up success in August, Hughie Morrison's gelding was too bad to be true at Nottingham last time when the deep ground may have been his undoing. Back on a sound surface and from a competitive mark he can return to winning ways. Astound perhaps has a little more weight than her form permits but she is worth another try at this trip and not ruled out, nor is Bizarrely, who is beginning to slip in the weights and gets this trip. Kenyan Cat is feared in his bid for a hat-trick but would appear to want cut to be at his best and if the rains stay away he will do well to defy another 4lb rise.
