Good tempo anticipated with Miss Emma and Hellish leading the way.
HOUSE OF CARDS (3) spotted the leaders a huge start when they straightened but then let down impressively and was beaten just half a length when resuming over 1250m here three weeks ago. Surprised they haven't stepped up in trip but while still a bit fresh he can overcome this ordinary line-up. SLINKY (2) last appeared when successful in heavy going over this course and distance on 6 August. Not a noted fresh performer but all four wins have come at this evening's journey. Two recent trials should have her ready to run well. ZULFIQAR (4) has worked home well without threatening in his two appearances this campaign. Doesn't win out of turn but from gate one he gets every chance. REMEMBER JACK (6) hasn't been far away at all three runs this time in work. Last saluted 132 weeks ago which is the concern. Each-way hope. The consistent ME ME (7) looks sure to be in the finish down on the limit weight. SUGGESTED PLAY: House Of Cards on top but it is not an easy race.
