A winner at Perth back in May, SETTLEDOUTOFCOURT can race off a lower mark here with Craig Nichol's allowance taken into account. Lucinda Russell's charge shaped well on his recent comeback and can land this. King's Chorister had beaten the selection earlier in the year but is worse off at the weights today and has been out of sorts since. Twice Lucky posted a better effort when third at Carlisle last time and can figure while Fitandproperjob finished closer on his latest start but may struggle in today's soft ground.
