BALLYLARE was runner-up at Newbury on his latest start in August. He has a leading chance on these terms dropping down in class for his return. Greyfriarschorista is a rare winner nowadays but edges the likes of Layla's Hero and Dana's Present at the weights, though also returns from a lay-off. Chelwood Gate and Brasted are closely matched on handicap ratings though both were beaten in claiming company last time and the remainder are harder to fancy.

Greyfriarschorista 9-4 (9-8) Took keen hold, held up in touch in last pair, headway on outside travelling well 2f out, ridden to challenge and and every chance when hung left inside final furlong, went 2nd towards finish, no chance with winner, 2nd of 6, 1 1/4l behind City Of Angkor Wat (9-8) at Wolverhampton 6f stks (6) pol in Jun.
Hipz (IRE) 8-1 (9-6) Keen tracked leader, ridden and every chance over 1f out, one pace final furlong, 3rd of 12, 2l behind Garter (9-6) at Lingfield 7f hcp (6) pol in Nov.
