6/1

Four-time C&D winner, with his latest success at Haydock in July. However, below form when ninth of 11 in handicap at Nottingham (5f, soft, 12/) 27 days ago, so bounce back called for.

5/2

IMPRESSOR has thrived of late since the cheekpieces have been reapplied, making it 3 wins from his last 4 starts when successful here 9 days ago, and he can score again with conditions to suit. Borough also arrives in good form and looks to be the main danger.
