Foie Gras will need to dig a bit deeper off a higher mark having won by only a neck at Wolverhampton last time. Copper Cavalier scored at the same track on his latest start and is preferred to Danzoe and Ecliptic Sunrise, both placed over the minimum trip recently. Silent Pursuit has plenty of scope now handicapping and Tom Hall has a shout but it could be the turn of ALL OR NOTHIN today given he has been dropped a further 7lb since last seen finishing third at Lingfield in August.
