Five O'clock Tea looked to have a fine chance at Down Royal yesterday so if he turns up here he has to be respected. Glen Ode scored over the course and distance last month before running into the in-form Ardmillan at Fairyhouse. He had WEST SHIP MASTER and Corporate Box in the places in that run on this track and it's the runner-up, who has since occupied the same spot again at Ayr, who is taken to come out on top this time. Moss Grove was beaten a long way into second at Southwell in August after scoring at Newton Abbot but reappears after a long absence. Bendala Bleu is an interesting entry as he was very well supported on a couple of occasions when last seen in 2013 and couldn't go much lower in the ratings.
