Al Khan won this 12 months ago with Yeeoow only fifth but recent efforts have left a bit to be desired. Letmestopyouthere runs in a claimer for the first time and would have a chance at the weights but has reserved his best for Tapeta so far. Nezar has won over this trip but has been confined to 6f this year so caution is advised while September’s Wolverhampton winner Unforgiving Minute is giving weight to all of his rivals. OUTER SPACE hinted at a revival at Chelmsford 12 days ago. Though he doesn’t often run here, there is no reason why he should be disadvantaged and he has a solid chance at the weights. Lunar Deity is much better over a mile
