Disappointing once again on Turf last time, RED RUNAWAY seems to save his best for this surface and is only 3lb higher than when winning at Lingfield in July. He gets the nod with Gerald Mosse picking up the ride. Mystery Drama went close at Salisbury last month and Compton Bird has a shout if forgiven a below par effort at Brighton last time. Mallory Heights has struggled all year and gets first-time blinkers but Aviator has tumbled down the weights and a recent third here points to a big run. Sir Charlie Kunz and Morning Watch are others who could figure if back to their best.
