LEADING COURSE TRAINER (19-24): P & M Bowen (31 wins from 107 runners, 29%) runs LERMOOS LEGEND TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): N Mulholland (6 wins from 22 runners, 27%) runs SHUIL CEOIL
WEIGHTWATCHER: IN REM won off a handicap mark of 117, his rating is now down 12lb to 105. LONGEST TRAVELLER: LERMOOS LEGEND trained by P & M Bowen, Haverfordwest, 176 miles.
STRINGTOYOURBOW possibly went too soon here in July and is worth another chance off a tempting mark. Flash In The Park is an interesting opponent switched to chasing by his new yard, while Duke of Moravia is another chase debutant to consider.
