8/1, career best when winning 11-runner handicap at Hamilton (6f, good) 8 days ago. Course winner too so he rates a big player under 5 lb penalty.

5/2

Latest win here in September and followed it up with good third of 12 in handicap (7/1) at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Has to be taken seriously off same mark.

Carlovian (5/2), Knightcap (7/2), Royal Brave (11/2), Hard Solution (15/2), I'll Be Good (17/2), Lydiate Lady (10/1), Ginvincible (12/1), Top Boy (22/1), Oriental Splendour (25/1), Roaring Rory (40/1), Granny Roz (66/1)

HARD SOLUTION is fancied to defy a 5 lb penalty for his recent Hamilton success and record win number four of the season for the in-form David O'Meara yard. Carlovian arrives in excellent nick too so rates a big threat along with course winner Knightcap who didn't enjoy the rub of the green when fifth at Beverley last time.
