Nothing really leaps off the page in this. NOTEABLE may have more scope than most having only raced three times. He is making his seasonal reappearance following wind surgery but the booking of William Buick is a positive. Bicep has finished second a couple of times this year and also started favourite last time while Mick Mchugh forfeited ground when making a bee-line for the far rail at Redcar 10 days ago. Eruption is in decent form but Raydoun and Golden Duke may be best of the rest.
