Formscan - George Ridsdale had a legitimate excuse for a poor run at his course on his seasonal return last month (finished lame on his comeback after a long break) and might be worth chancing to at least make the frame judged on the the pick of his past efforts. However, DR RIO is a far more appealing option for win purposes as he won with a bit in hand over C&D 17 days ago. With just 3lb more to carry, he's a must for consideration. Wild Thunder (a stablemate of George Ridsdale) finished one place behind the selection when they met here in June and underpins a strong challenge from his yard. Tele Red and Just Hiss are a couple of others who help make this an intriguing race for the grade.
