125/1

C&D maiden winner in June but form is only modest and she was well held in a handicap last time. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Others are preferred.

Forecasts

Queens Brook (11/10), Lunar Display (11/4), Say Goodbye (4/1), April's Moon (9/1), Dashing Shirocco (14/1), Toor Moment (125/1), Intersky Sunset (250/1)

Gordon Elliott looks to hold the key to this contest, with the Jack Kennedy-ridden QUEENS BROOK fancied to make light of an 11-month absence and prove too strong for race-fit stablemate Say Goodbye. Lunar Display is clear pick of the remainder.
