Hard to be confident about any of these and a purely speculative vote goes to KYLE OF BUTE. He went close twice over C&D in June and may be capable of reversing running with Justcallmehandsome on better terms. Gemma's Delight won at Chester earlier but that was on soft ground, while Pie Poudre is 5lb higher than April's win over C&D but could still make the frame. Mr Chocolate Drop should do better back on the Polytrack though he's gone up 8lb since scoring at Kempton in January, while both of Dazakhee's wins came on the Fibresand.
