Kilbrew Boy (15/8), Encore Champs (5/2), Thomas Todd (7/2), Eureu Du Boulay (7/1), Volt Face (8/1), Nobel Leader (10/1), Its'afreebee (16/1)

All seven have some hope in an open race. KILBREW BOY came right back to form with a ready win at Wincanton and with conditions ideal again, there seems no reason he can't follow up before the handicapper gets a hold on him. Thomas Todd might be the biggest danger, given his track form and the fact he's had a little break, which for him is a good thing as he goes well fresh. Encore Champs would have a great chance on his form here in October and has a ready excuse for a lesser effort last time. Its'afreebie has hope if it stays dry.
