Few make much appeal and Waterloo Sunset hasn’t raced since scoring over track and trip in June. He’s 5lb higher today while Fascinating Lips is another returning from a lay-off having won here back in April. Cuban Cigar returns to the all-weather for the first time since winning at Wolverhampton in August but ROGUE POWER is preferred. The latter is due to be raised 5lb after going close at Yarmouth on last week’s handicap debut and can take advantage off his current mark.
