Stamp Duty has gone close here the last twice and is back on a winning mark. A first victory in almost two years could be on the cards if he can overcome a modest draw. Cloud Nine could figure back in a handicap but was only fourth behind Captain Sedgwick on Turf ion July, though is 8lb better off. Spring Beauty may still have some scope and Satchville Flyer should be thereabouts along with Joyful Dream but we’ll take a chance on HELLAVASHOCK. Alastair Whillans’ grey is 0-17 but ran his best race so far on this surface in a Newcastle claimer last time when facing a stiff task at the weights.
