Tregaro and Tayarat are difficult to fancy here racing from out of the handicap. Brass Tax and Skint have plenty to prove at present but Master Of The Hall has claims if you ignore his latest fourth at Hexham as he goes well around here. Perfect Timing won at Newton Abbot in May but Alderbrook Lad has the better form and 10lb claimer Finian O'Toole takes the reins again having steered the gelding to a second successive victory at Cartmel. TINDARO is only a pound higher than when second at Southwell in August. This will the grey's first run over fences since but he's had a couple of starts on the Flat this year so should be match-fit.
