Clubland, Greyfriarschorista and Borough Boy all scored on the Fibresand at Southwell on their latest starts. The former makes most appeal in this on his earlier second at Wolverhampton. Rich Again won over the minimum trip last time and Mezmaar scored over 7f here three weeks ago. Plucky Dip went close over the latter distance at Newmarket in July but has his first start since, but Stake Acclaim is not out of this dropping back down in class. TROJAN ROCKET has tumbled down the weights and won this in 2014 off a similar mark. Michael Wigham's charge gets a speculative vote to return to winning ways in a wide-open sprint.
