Race preview
Larry Looby has been in fine fettle over the summer months, but Micky Hammond's charge has a bit to prove following a below-par performance here last time. With that in mind, the vote goes to ABINGTON PARK, who displayed improvement on his second start over fences when fitted with first-time cheekpieces (retained). Storm Lorenzo can be forgiven his latest effort, having slipped up, and he heads the remainder.
