MR DEALER is a 10-year-old but has only placed a couple of times so far though one of those efforts came at Southwell in May when beaten a length-and-a-quarter by Sister Michael, who is 2lb worse off. Ashley Dodgson’s charge ran well for fourth here earlier on good to soft and should be a working man’s price. Ange Endormi has been a beaten favourite twice since winning at Cartmel in July but did finish ahead of Dillarchie last time at Hexham. Tough Out would have claims on his form at the start of the year but Miss Milano has become disappointing. Mark Walford runs three but Pileup was beaten a long way when second at Hexham.
