HEY GAMAN gets a marginal call ahead of old rival Sir Dancealot, but this could go either way. 3lb better off for a legth beating last time and with his yard in decent form, he may turn it around. Sir Dancealot will make a bold bid to win this race for the second year running and could hardly arrive here in better form, while the step back up to 7f should suit Glorious Journey after his good effort in the July Cup. Space Traveller is very interesting taking on older horses again and this more conventional track will suit, while Safe Journey has claims, as too does Flaming Spear in a cracking contest.
