Court Jurado is 0-11 but seems sure to be in the firing-line again in a modest handicap. Vino's Choice is also running well enough to get into contention but August’s Cartmel winner Sword Of Fate is hard to catch right. Lough Kent is 5lb lower than his last winning mark but is in the veteran stage now. MY RENAISSANCE needs holding up so will require some luck in-running. He never got competitive at Sedgefield four weeks ago having won earlier on the track but looks the best option here, though Buyer Beware is 8lb lower than when landing this 12 months ago.
