SIR NOD has recorded all four of his wins on Polytrack at this course. He's back on a winning mark and a repeat of his second at Thirsk in August would be enough to land this. Dickie Le Davoir regularly pops up at this level and returns to the all-weather on a decent mark while June's Yarmouth winner Amosite could figure off a 3lb higher mark. Wiltshire Life and Gung Ho Jack remain out of sorts and Waabel still looks in the handicapper's grip.
