Mutual Respect must enter calculations as the only recent winner in this contest, although a 5lb rise for his Uttoxeter success may be enough to prevent the seven-year-old from following up. GONE IN SIXTY displayed enough encouragement on his chasing debut at Market Rasen last month to suggest that a race of this nature is within his compass. Alex Hales' gelding shades the vote, while any market support for stable debutant Methusalar would bring him into the reckoning too.
Prediction : 1st Gone In Sixty 2nd Mutual Respect 3rd Methusalar

SHOT TOWER almost caused an upset when finishing second from out of the weights at Newton Abbot last Saturday and holds leading claims now racing off his actual handicap mark in this contest. Mix Of Clover appeared to benefit from first-time cheekpieces, having been beaten just under two lengths at Stratford in late-August, with Alastair Ralph's nine-year-old likely to be in the mix on the return to 2m4f. Glajou also merits consideration if putting it all together.
Prediction : 1st Shot Tower 2nd Mix Of Clover 3rd Glajou

POLICE ACADEMY has proved a perfect graduate since making a winning stable debut for the Fergal O'Brien team in July and a hat-trick looks in the offing now only 5lb higher than her Bangor triumph last month. The trip looks on the edge of Izayte's stamina if judged on his third-placed finish over C&D in late-August. Nevertheless, the five-year-old may emerge as the chief threat, ahead of Ben Lilly, who returns to action off a dangerous mark.
Prediction : 1st Police Academy 2nd Izayte 3rd Ben Lilly

MARVEL STAR kept on to finish a solid third over 2m2f at Sligo on her final start for Margaret Mullins last month. Now in the care of Alastair Ralph and sent over an extra two furlongs, she could shed the maiden tag. Come On Du Berlais sets the standard with an official rating of 105 and is unlikely to be far away. Fountainspinklady was unable to justify strong market support on her hurdling bow, but she can take a step forward with that run under her belt.
Prediction : 1st Marvel Star 2nd Come On Du Berlais 3rd Fountainspinklady

KARAVOMYLOS got the better of a subsequent winner when successful over C&D three weeks ago, so a 4lb rise not be enough to prevent the unexposed son of Milan from following up. Nickelsonthedime arrives in terrific form having scored on two of his last three starts. Kayley Woollacott's charge is the main danger, while Hardy Boy and Pottlerath should not be far away either.
Prediction : 1st Karavomylos 2nd Nickelsonthedime 3rd Hardy Boy

Emanate sprung a massive shock when winning at odds of 100-1 over track and trip in July and he warrants consideration off just 3lb higher. However, a chance is taken on ONNAROLL. The five-year-old hasn't been the most consistent, but there was plenty to like about his recent Fontwell second. Having travelled strongly into contention, he found just one too strong and a similar effort could see him go one better. Diana Prince is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Onnaroll 2nd Emanate 3rd Diana Prince
