Prime Circle went close again here last time having won over C&D on his penultimate start. He's likely to make another bold bid, though BELLE PARK has just as good a chance and is likely to start a bigger price. The latter wasn't disgraced in much better company at Sandown in July and had gone close when third over track and trip before that. Whats For Pudding has struggled to get involved since landing a double on the turf in August and a similar comment applies to Excellent Vision, who has shown little since his win at this track in the same month.
