Most of these look to have had enough for the year but FICKLE FEELINGS managed a third at Catterick last time and can come out best. Reimpose won over 7f here last year but steps up in trip after a lay-off while Dark Tsarina has disappointed since placed at Lingfield back in August. San Quentin and L Ge R have slipped down the weights without showing any benefit and the rest are even harder to fancy.
