Not much to go on here and a purely speculative vote goes the way of GEORGE THISBY. He's been placed at this track the last twice without looking like winning but handles soft ground and has been dropped a couple of pounds in the weights. Querido is a C&D winner who may figure once again but Shaunas Spirit has gone off the boil since scoring twice on the Polytrack during the summer. Bold Ring has been in better form at Kempton of late and The Name Is Frank has won over a shorter trip at this track but it's hard to make a serious case for any of the remainder.
