A red-hot handicap where another chance is given to SPACE WAR who proved bitterly disappointing at Newmarket's July meeting but the form of his first two starts worked out well and he may be able to get his career back on track having been freshened up. Rock N Roll Ransom is respected on this drop back in trip but his Salisbury maiden win has taken a few knocks whilst Highland Knight hasn't quite lived up to expectations and doesn't appear to have anything in hand. In contrast, Nelson's Bounty and Gojeri look progressive and there may well be more to come from them and Julienas who was well backed at Windsor last time. Others to note include Linnens Star whose yard took this two years ago and Give Your Verdict.
