Several of these bid for hat-tricks. Braes Of Lochalsh landed a double over 1m5f here in July but Hot Spice is upped in class after winning an amateurs' race over 2m at Doncaster. One More Go also won over 2m in this grade at Thirsk recently but is 5lb higher and AMOUR DE NUIT is preferred. Sir Mark Prescott's charge gets the vote to shrug off a penalty having won his third race of the year when successful at York last time. Winning hurdler Chebsey Beau has had just the two starts on the Flat and won a maiden at Catterick last month but top weight Saved By The Bell is now 12lb higher than his win over 1m6f at York back in June.
