FISHFORCOMPLIMENTS can win this, due reward for his consistency during a busy spell. Still well-handicapped despite a rise to a mark of 80, this reliable gelding looks likely to score over what is his optimum trip. Shotley Mac impressed when beating Summer Dancer, whilst King Of Eden steps up in trip but he might now be high enough in the weights after a very profitable summer. Istiqdaam needs a market check with the promise of more to come, Billy Dane is one of several who should ensure an honest gallop, whilst a visor may spark improvement in Geoff Oldroyd's Bond City. Rain would suit River Falcon, but along with Mujaadel and Commando Scott he commands respect regardless.
