Verdict

TYPEFACE is lurking on handy mark back on the all-weather and he gets the vote. The dangers are headed by Gemini Man, who chased home a subsequent winner here last time. New Objective, Pride Eye and Parole Officer also need considering in a competitive opener.

7	Runner-up twice here last winter and has hit the frame all 4 starts on turf since his reappearance (been expensive to follow). Potentially very well treated back on the all-weather and may capitalise if settling back up in trip. 1st Pick 7 Typeface Jockey: Stevie Donohoe Trainer: Ian Williams J: Stevie Donohoe T: Ian Williams	100	-	-	-	9%

3	Has won 3 times on the Flat this year, including C&D classified event at this course in June. Again ran well when close second to a next-time-out winner over C&D last time. Has to be on the shortlist off only 1 lb higher. 2nd Pick 3 Gemini Man (Ire) Jockey: Mark Winn Trainer: Iain Jardine J: Mark Winn T: Iain Jardine	91	-	-	-	34%

6	Ran just about as well as he has when 2¾-length fourth over C&D last time. Less exposed than most in this field and hasn't been long with current yard. One of the more interesting runners. 3rd Pick 6 New Objective Jockey: Alistair Rawlinson Trainer: Kevin & Lauren Frost J: Alistair Rawlinson T: Kevin & Lauren Frost	88	-	-	-	15%
