METEOROID hasn't raced since June but drops further down the weights and Richard Hughes gets the leg-up on his return. He's just preferred to recent Sandown winner Ajig and Sbraase, who has recorded both wins at this venue including his latest start over an extra furlong. The veteran Mia's Boy is on the downgrade but drops in class for this while Party Royal and Toga Tiger are both capable of getting involved at this level. Lean On Pete and Reggie Bond are upped in class and harder to fancy.
