In depth
Verdict
Avoncreek scored under today's amateur at Thirsk last time and should be thereabouts again off a 3lb higher mark. Hayek won over C&D in June and has gone close again since, but he will do well to confirm earlier running with IVESTAR on worse terms and the latter gets the nod. Benny The Bear won over a longer trip at Ayr earlier this month with Chookie Avon behind, but Andrasta and Weetenthirty have both struggled since scoring in July and Two Turtles Doves could prove a bigger threat.
