Race preview

An open contest in which a chance can be taken with DASHING ROGER, who reverts to handicapping after being well beaten in the Summer Mile at Ascot in July. He retains the mark from a decent third over an extended 1m2f at Chester on his penultimate run and gets the vote at the main expense of Stay Well, who can take advantage of a drop in trip following a fair fourth over an extended 1m3f last month. Eagle's Way was a beaten favourite in the Chesterfield Cup at Goodwood most recently but could bounce back.
