Formscan - The consistent SIMPLY RED gets the vote having finished runner-up on her last two starts and because Brian Hughes is back in the saddle after steering her to victory at Bangor in August. This sharper trip shouldn't be an inconvenience to recent Southwell winner Barely Famous, who looks a danger along with Cotton End, who bolted up in this race two years ago and isn't dismissed lightly.
