BATELEUR has been threatening a return to winning ways having finished runner-up three times this month. One of those efforts came over C&D when he had today's rival Mr Skipiton behind and Mick Channon's charge is the token selection. Simple Rhythm also went close over track and trip in August, though that was on soft ground, while Wreningham is another with claims on his earlier placed efforts at this track. Star Twilight and See Vermont may figure, along with Good Timin', who should have come on for his belated seasonal debut at Southwell.
