REGINALD CLAUDE scored over track and trip in July. He's 4lb higher today but has little to beat in this if running anywhere near his best. Loyal N Trusted won an amateurs race over 7f earlier in the season but there's no other recent winning form to consider. Stonecrabstomorrow is back on a winning mark if at his best but he hasn't been lately while Imjin River hasn't won since 2009. Spirit Of Dixie has yet to win so it would be no surprise if Big Storm Coming was good enough to figure on his handicap debut.
