In depth

Verdict

The beautifully-bred Nomenklatura enhanced her paddock value with a battling victory over GHOSTLY ARC at Pontefract last week but comes here with a penalty and the runner-up, who was having his first start since July and was 2lb out of the handicap, can gain revenge and lose his maiden tag. Stags Leap completed a hat-trick over hurdles over long distances and ran well enough over this trip at Newcastle in August but has gone up 5lb for that defeat and may again find this too short. Titus Bolt is on a lower mark than when last successful on this track a year ago and again ran well here last month.
