Tim Easterby saddles a couple of likely types in this, though Music Society is probably better over 6f nowadays. Showalong beat First Company and Ey Up It's Maggie over the minimum at Chester earlier in the season, however, though was behind Digital at Goodwood in July. Good Luck Fox and Jabbarockie could be thereabouts but the ground has probably turned against Mid Winster, second here last month before finishing fifth in the Ayr Silver Cup. PENDLETON’s run at Ascot last week can be forgiven as he blew the start. A winner on soft going here in May, he can reverse that form with Spoof and defy top weight.
