MARTY MCFLY has dipped to only 1 lb above the mark he defied over this trip at Hexham in June and gets the vote having shaped as if back in form until his stamina gave out over 3m here last time. Fiveafterfour could be a major threat assuming she's none the worse for a heavy fall on her course chase debut last month. Chase newcomer Lord de Vinci shaped quite well over hurdles on his reappearance and is also respected.
