Prosecco has won twice here but prefers much softer ground and returns from a break. Wilde Pastures and My Idea also lack a recent run but the latter is dropped in grade for this. However, he's much more effective over longer distances. DEGOOCH has been in regular action over the summer, winning at Bangor in July. He has finished last in both recent starts but was only beaten a length by the potentially useful Gevrey Chambertin at Bangor last time and a repeat of that effort may well suffice. Claragh Native is hard to catch right while Muwalla reserves his best for Sedgefield.
