NIBRAS GOLD won over C&D in a first-time tongue strap in July and, having shaped well at Brighton last time, is fancied to resume winning ways back at this venue. Loki impressed when making a winning handicap debut at Carlisle with a bit in hand and looks too well treated to ignore despite a high draw, so rates the main danger. Spartan Times is also respected.
