Running Cool (G)
[P]
Little impact for Tim Easterby but took a big step back in the right direction when second at Wolverhampton on debut for this yard in September. However, below par all 3 starts this year after 5 months off.

Siviez (F)
Showed more than previously when third of 5 in Redcar maiden in the summer but has struggled both starts in handicaps this year and drop to 5f unlikely to suit.

Invitorio (G)
Novice winner but winless since, failing to come on for return at Newcastle 12 days ago. Drops to 5f for the first time which could suit.

Latin Five (G)
Last 3 wins have come at Newcastle but below par last 3 starts there. Effective on turf and has run well here before, including when close third in this last year.

Baby Rover (F)
Opened account at Redcar (6f) in June and posted a couple of good seconds after. Shaped as if amiss back on the AW final start.

Sir Benedict (G)
FAV
Not seen to best effect of late, including starting out for new yard when second at Newcastle 4 weeks ago. Clearly needs things to drop right but he's a player back in a handicap.

| 4th | 10 | 1 |
Tommytwohoots (G)
Infrequent winner but made a positive start for this yard when second in classified event at Wolverhampton 2 weeks ago. Needs to build on that back in a handicap.

Doralee (M)
Won a classified event at Redcar in August but generally struggled in handicaps last season. Shaped as if needing comeback run at Newcastle last month.

Jamie's Choice (M)
Generally struggled last season, though she went very close in this race on her return last season off 7 lb higher. Could be worth chancing.
