Glengarry has been raised 5lb and is upped in trip after winning over 7f here while Calvados Spirit was ending a long losing run when scoring in a lower grade at Newmarket last month. Grey Spirit is fitted with headgear having failed to land the odds at Haydock in July but Pickett's Charge arrives in good form and Four Kingdoms drops down to a more suitable distance. Bumper and hurdles winner NORMAL NORMAN has so far only raced on the all-weather on the Flat but was having his first start since March when second over 7f at Kempton recently and gets a speculative vote over this extra furlong.
