In depth
Verdict
A low grade affair with a wide range of jockeyship on view but Over The Hill comes here in top form and earns the TEAMtalk vote. The 10-year-old was a comfortable winner in a seller here earlier in the month and stays this trip well so may be able to overcome a subsequent 4lb rise under his useful pilot. Maraud is best when able to dominate as he showed when successful over course and distance in July and wasn't disgraced on his comeback following a short break so may prove hard to peg back. Harry Hooly is on a fair mark but has disappointed of late while No Gimmicks has useful form at this level but may need the outing.
