BEECHCRAFT BARON ran out an easy winner of a maiden at this track in August. He's shown a real affinity for the surface and is taken to follow up on his handicap debut. National Hope has risen 7lb for her recent win at Folkestone but could still figure if taking to the Fibresand, while Boy The Bell and Eastern Hills have winning form at this venue and should be thereabouts. Elusive Warrior is a fixture at this track but looks in need of some respite from the handicapper if he's to add to his nine course wins.
