The incredible TOGOVILLE was going for his 15th course victory three weeks ago but lost all chance at the start - he has won from a higher mark than this. He beat Jered Maddox a month ago but the latter has won subsequently so is no better off. Prisoner's Dilemma finished a close second in that latter event, which was over 7f, and is better at that trip, as is St George's Head but Maggie Thunder is best over the minimum. Rocky Dreams landed a Wolverhampton maiden in September and Denis Hogan will find races for him while the likes of Independent Missy and Eglish can be given chances in a tight handicap.
