Cosmos Raj has won twice around here, the latest from 8lb higher in August. Copper And Five has also won here and was racing in better company when beaten at Doncaster following a short-head success at Thirsk. Saisons D'Or has won eight times though was beaten five lengths from this mark at Nottingham but DIAMOND HAZE has gradually dropped to a winnable mark and can get back on the winning trail. Little Ted is worthy of consideration from this lowly mark as his latest victory was here last May from 6lb higher.
