Irreverent just missed out at Haydock last time and has decent claims while Blackheath has been competing in tough handicaps since winning at Yarmouth in June and is not out of this. Eton College makes a belated reappearance but has a shout on his two-year-old form while Sansevero is the least exposed and can figure on his handicap debut but SHADY MCCOY looks worth sticking with. Ian Williams’ rejuvenated veteran has won two of three outings since returning to action and remains on a winning mark despite carrying 4lb extra for a cosy success at Sandown last time.
