In depth
Verdict
Grand Enterprise has been getting closer recently at Hexham but Jessica Rabbit is now 0-16 after her latest second at Market Rasen. There are a couple of three-year-olds taking on older horses and Fraterculus is preferred to Peat Moss, who has already been beaten in a couple of handicaps, though both will have stamina to prove. Having placed over longer trips in August, MOLLIANA won a shade cosily over 2m at Chepstow and can overcome a 4lb rise to beat Hello Bob, who has a had a break since scoring at Uttoxeter in the summer, and Oksana. Among the remainder, Dieu Benisse is worth a market check.
