QIRAT (21) would hold major claims adopting first-time cheekpieces if getting a run (first reserve). THUNDER RUN (10) rates the pick of those guaranteed an outing. Booking Ryan Moore catches the eye and with trainer Karl Burke might have what it takes to defy the 4lb rise in weights received for winning at York last time. Form of a DAYSOFOURLIVES (8) success on soft ground at Doncaster (1m) took a major boost when the second finished the same spot among G3 company last time. Must be taken seriously. ELNAJMM (5) might go well back in a handicap with first-time cheekpieces fitted. Irish raider STATE ACTOR (19) warrants consideration after being narrowly denied a valuable 1m handicap at the Curragh in August.
