Thoresby steps up in trip after hanging on for victory at Towcester back in May while Minella For Steak was still beaten 15 lengths when runner-up on his latest start. Irish raider Street Runner has to compete off a 16lb higher mark after winning at Down Royal but the likes of Flying Doctor and Twin Bud posted better efforts last time having slipped down the weights. LONG WAVE scored over track and trip in July with a subsequent winner back in third and he gets the vote to defy a 6lb rise and go in again.
