Someone Exciting is the only course and distance winner in the line-up having won here three times, though she's looking a bit high in the weights. My Valentino is the definite form pick having won three of his last four though all have been over further and this is a sharp track. Alfred The Grey has never won and was beaten in a seller last time but MOONLIT SANDS scored over 5f at Carlisle in August and, if recent wind surgery has had the desired effect, she can take this from 1lb higher. Isabella Ruby is 0-22 and has gone back up in the weights after a narrow defeat at Wolverhampton.
