This Ones For Eddy won at Southwell in July but is 6lb higher than his earlier victory at this track, while All Honesty has reverted to type after scoring at Folkestone in July. FORTUNATE BID usually runs his race here and, off only a 2lb higher mark than when runner-up over C&D last month, Linda Stubbs' charge gets the vote. Karate has solid claims on his earlier victory at this track and Mr Chocolate Drop went close over a longer trip here last time so can't be ignored.
