TOBY TYLER's win at York in July is the best piece of recent form on offer. It was slow ground that day and Paul Midgley's charge can take this lesser contest with a similar performance. Nine Before Ten won a seller last month but is not without claims in this company, but it was heavy ground when Sea Salt scored in a lower grade at Newcastle on his penultimate start. Ryedane is upped in class after winning at Hamilton and will find life tough under a penalty, while Captain Scooby has done all his winning over 5f so far.
