Invicta Lake tries his luck in handicaps having been placed in maiden and novice company in his last three starts. Ya Hafed is tried in blinkers after his latest third at Lingfield while it be interesting to see how last week's Folkestone winner Fitandproperjob fares under a penalty as he hadn't shown much previously. Van Diemens Land could figure with Gavin Sheehan taking off 5lb and Sun Quest was the subject of a gamble at Plumpton last month only to fall before halfway. Irish import WALDEN PRINCE showed enough last season to suggest he'll pick up a race or two for Tony Carroll and he'll have needed his run at Huntingdon in October. Eased in the weights since, this may be his chance to shine. Southwell third Crystal Swing and the returning Latin America may be best of the rest.
