DANDY DINMONT (6) closed off strongly last start to get up for third, beaten 1.3 lengths, over 1000m at Doncaster when fresh from a break. Sure to go well again. EMPEROR CARADOC (3) finished fourth over 1200m at this track at his most recent appearance on October 7. One of the genuine hopes in the race. REIGNING PROFIT (4) impressed last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished 2.25 lengths from the winner in third over 1000m at Wolverhampton. Looks well placed so expect another big run. SO GRATEFUL (8) proved too strong two runs ago but was not as effective last time out when fourth over 1200m at Wolverhampton, beaten 3 lengths. Best figures measure up so deserves another chance.
