DUCAL was doing all his best work at the finish when third over 7f at Wolverhampton on his handicap debut. He can get off the mark here with the extra furlong likely to suit. Choral also has every chance judged on his recent third over 7f in better company at this track, while Ibiza Sunset has been threatening to get his head in front and should be thereabouts again. Dare To Bare has been running well over a longer trip here of late, but Snow Trooper is 7lb higher than June's win at Newbury and dual 7f winner Russian Ice is upped in class.
