Scommettitrice bids for a five-timer and with three of his recent wins having come at this track, he should be in the mix once again. This is tougher, however, and the veteran OSIRIS WAY need only repeat his second at Bath last month to come out best in this lesser company. Interakt is also capable at this level but would prefer more cut in the ground while June's C&D winner Billy Red looks high enough in the weights now. Efistorm could sneak a place and makes more appeal than the returning Peter Island.
Interakt 20-1 (8-3) Towards rear, ridden over 2f out, headway over 1f out, weakened inside final furlong, 17th of 23, 6l behind Time Medicean (8-1) at Goodwood 5f hcp 0-90 (3) gd in Jul.

Peter Island (FR) 8-1 (9-11) Led at fast pace, 5 lengths ahead halfway, reduced lead 2f out, headed and weakned rapidly inside final furlong, 7th of 8, 3 1/2l behind Bermondsey Bob (9-5) at Brighton 6f hcp 0-70 (5) gf in Jul '11.
Scommettitrice (IRE) 10-3 (8-13) Prominent, ridden and every chance over 1f out, ran on to lead near finish, won at Ffos Las 5f hcp 0-70 (5) gd in Jul beating My Meteor (9-7) by nk, 6 ran.
