Al Erayg ran his best race for a while when a close third at Nottingham. Delph Crescent was a close second off this mark at Beverley two runs ago and Moxy Mares has run well off higher marks since scoring at Lingfield in July. Royal Prospect was only raised 2lb after winning at Carlisle in August and Vocatus is a consistent sort. Wots The Wifi won over 1m2f here last month but is effective over this shorter trip but Spartakos steps up from 7f. Returning from a break, the unexposed OTTO OYL was an eye-catcher over 7f here last month. He can reverse that form with runner-up Balqaa on better terms and deny Kats Bob a hat-trick.
