Nonrunner
Katie's Hen has been pretty consistent this summer and her yard is in decent form. Brunton Blue returned from a lengthy absence to win here in June but has been absent again since. Cruise In Style is an interesting runner as she won over course and distance a year ago and is 4lb lower. Robert Walford's runners here are always worth a second look and CRAZY TRAIN may be capable of adding to her Stratford gains having only been raised 2lb. Quantum Of Solace wasn't beaten far by Juwirya at Stratford last time and that one could give a boost to the top weight earlier in the day.
