Hammy End has done well since transferring from the all-weather though is now 8lb higher than his victory at Chepstow in July. Neileta was a long way behind him at Beverley last time though didn't get the run of the race but stable companion BRUTALAB is running well enough to win this. David Allan made most of the running on him at Beverley last time and though that was over 1m2f he stayed on strongly and will take some catching. Somewhat Sisyphean stepped up to this trip for the first time at Thirsk and ran his best race to date so could pose a threat but Smashing Lass has been beaten in sellers recently.
