ONE MORE ROUND is in excellent form and can complete a hat-trick here at the main expense of No Grouse. The Ollie Pears-trained selection was twice a winner over this trip in June in seller and claimers and he returns after a break in the latter grade. He is best in at these weights on official ratings and there is no reason why he can't go in again. No Grouse is one of those unfortunate performers that has been going up the weights in defeat, but he goes well at both 6f and this trip, and is a very consistent sort. He has won on the polytrack, though arguably he is better on turf, but he is respected here. Claret And Amber is dropped back to this trip for the first time in over two years and is not certain to benefit from that. A mile looks to be his optimum and whether he has the speed for this looks debatable. Zippi Jazzman, on the other hand, tries seven furlongs for the first time after being kept to sprint trips and he has to prove he gets this far. Le Chiffre likes it here and goes well in the grade but has a bit to do at the weights, and Swinbrook is an interesting contender if staying this far, which must remain doubtful. All in all not a bad race for a claimer and we'll take One More Round to win it.
