Shamdarley won on the Polytrack last month but has earned himself a 6lb weight rise and will find this a lot tougher. Top weight shouldn't prevent a big run from Highland Colori, who won over course and distance in June and was sixth in the Bunbury Cup last month. But there's no reason why he should reverse that latest form with I'M SO GLAD. Mick Channon's filly won four times last year but hasn't managed a success so far this term. She needs forgiving a poor run over 6f here subsequently but is probably on a fair mark at present. Democretes continues to disappoint but Gabriel's Lad could be interesting stepping up in trip and Common Touch is starting to look well handicapped. Head Of Steam and Albaqaa look the pick of the remainder.
