Wise Guy 3.30 Carlisle
Made it 2-4 in handicaps (heavy/soft) when winning easily over C&D in March and again ran well when third at Chepstow (2m, good to soft) in April; this unexposed 5yo has travelled from Buckinghamshire to make his reappearance and could still have more left in the tank; firmly in calculations.

Faerie Cutlass 3.55 Ludlow
Only 3lb higher than for her sole win and for one who stays this far it was a respectable show last time at Warwick over 2m3f (beaten 12l); thereabouts.

Temper Trap 5.00 Nottingham
Way down the weights going into this autumn and he's capitalised with two seconds over 1m followed by two wins over 7f; the wins were in the mud this month at Leicester and Redcar, both comfortably; 6lb higher than last time but completing a hat-trick must be a likely outcome.

Rock Opera 8.00 Southwell
Only 2lb higher than for his Doncaster win in June and he's run several good races in defeat since, most recently third of 11 in a useful 6f handicap at Ayr a fortnight ago; C&D winner who looks set to go well once more.
