Having quickly bounced back to form when landing a small-field conditions event at Beverley 17 days ago, TOCA MADERA remains on the mark he's been competitive from in top-end handicaps this summer and may well be up to defying top weight eased in class. Hallo Spaceboy will find this easier than recent assignments and is feared, as is Baldomero back at 5f from a career-low mark. Copper Knight also deserves an honourable mention with no less than 7 C&D victories to his name.
