In depth
Verdict
Barton Bounty is holding his form well but is 7lb higher than when winning a lower grade event here last month. Love In The West returns to this trip for the first time since scoring over C&D in August and has a chance, while Market Puzzle and Idol Deputy have claims on their best form but both ran shockers last time time so INDEFINITE HOPE gets a tentative vote. A multiple winner in Italy, she's not really fired in four starts in this country yet but showed a bit more at Lingfield last time and has since joined a yard that get plenty of winners at this track.
