Raktiman has every chance only 3lb higher than when scoring over C&D in August and Green Lightning is another who should do better having won over track and trip last month. Reem Star's recent second at Goodwood points to a big run here, but Resplendent Ace might prefer a longer trip. Irish raider In A Nutshell may attract interest with Kieren Fallon booked, but the vote goes to the unexposed RYTON RUNNER. He ran his best race so far when third in better company at Kempton in September and this longer trip is sure to suit.
