FormscanBy Tom Weekes - BAROMETER has a good course record despite not winning at this track. A useful stayer, he has three runner-ups and one third-placing from five course runs, comes here in good form under a 4lb claimer and is ground-versatile. Zileo was behind the selection here in July and while his only win was in France in April 2021, ran well over this distance when finishing second of 21 at the Curragh 11 days ago. Rich Belief was well held over hurdles last month but won over a similar flat distance in April and seems ground-versatile. Keen-going Wrecking Ball Paul has useful bits of form but is a handful while Viceregent ran well at Ballinrobe in July but has won just once from 33 career starts. Votre Homme runs in his first handicap while nine-race maiden Chatterbox ran well here last October. Five-time winner Jake Peter has been well held recently.
