It says much that Tijori can't be ruled out in this, despite the fact he's been beaten twice in sellers lately. Volcanic Jack is also a plater but Highlife Dancer won over 1m2f at Yarmouth before finishing second under a penalty at Beverley, though his stamina has to be taken on trust over this trip whereas LIBERTY LOVE is already a winner over 1m6f and has had a bit of a break since disappointing on soft ground at Ballinrobe in June. Shaun Harley's seven-year-old may be ready to return to the winner's enclosure. Star Hill and Comedy House have more scope than most and could be suited by a step up in distance, though don't look particularly well handicapped.
