Psychedelic Rock (7/2), Ocean Jive (7/2), Melody Of Scotland (5/1), Mr Mcguiness (13/2), Comanche Chieftain (9/1), Forever Field (10/1), Theatrebar (11/1), Tempestatefloresco (11/1)

A wide-open event with a plethora of options and although Melody Of Scotland was disappointing last time she could be given a chance to make amends here. Mr McGuiness is always to be feared over the fixed brush hurdles around here but this mark may just be beyond him and Theatrebar should enjoy this sounder surface to operate off. PSYCHEDELIC ROCK will be far more at home over this trip though that the near 3m one he tackled last time and the form he showed here in June would be good enough to take this if repeated.
