Decima won an amateurs' race over 1m3f here last month and has been raised 5lb. CONTREBASSE is less exposed and after scoring over 1m4f at Doncaster, he gets the nod to defy a 4lb rise and go in again upped in trip today. Reactive and Toronto Sound are others with scope for improvement while Something Brewing has been thereabouts since winning over 2m at Wolverhampton in July. Zig Zag has a shout on his earlier second at Doncaster and So Near So Farhh has been threatening off similar marks lately.
