Verdict

JOJO RABBIT bolted up at Catterick last week and wisely turned out under a 4-lb penalty, he looks a major player once more with the plum draw to work from. Fellow last-time-out winner Go Victor is a danger, whilst Knicks is also worthy of a second look from a career-low mark. Beerwah and Speeding Bullet complete the dangers in a competitive finale.

9	Bounced back to form to win over 6f here in July and, equipped with cheekpieces, posted a career-best display when resuming winning ways at Beverley (5f) 2 weeks ago, leading final 1f and drawing clear. 3 lb rise looks fair given manner of that victory and he's respected again. 2nd Pick 9 Go Victor (Ire) Jockey: Billy Garritty Trainer: Tony Culhane & Stella Barclay J: Billy Garritty T: Tony Culhane & Stella Barclay	94	-	-	-	12%	8/1

8	On a long losing run but has twice run well over C&D this season and back to form when third behind a subsequent winner at Leicester (5f) in September. Never figured in refitted visor (discarded) in big field at Ayr 18 days ago but can bounce back from a career-low mark if starting better. 3rd Pick 8 Knicks (Ire) Jockey: Joanna Mason Trainer: Michael & David Easterby J: Joanna Mason T: Michael & David Easterby	95	-	-	-	6%	18/1
