Norwich, who have been dire at home, have come alive in away games and remain unbeaten in four league games on the road. Ipswich have won two and drawn two at home this season, and given it's a tight local derby, a draw is forecast.

Norwich are 19th and have been poor at home where they are yet to win. They have performed much better in away games this season and remain unbeaten in four: 2 wins and 2 draws, scoring in all of them. Ipswich have won two and drawn two at home this season, with both sides scoring in 3 out of 4. It's a tight local derby; a score draw is forecast.

Villa have been creeping back into form and are now unbeaten in the last four. Their confidence would have soared, and they should prove too much for Burnley today, who are without a win in the last five.

Palace remain unbeaten this season but the fixtures have been coming thick and fast. Everton look inspired at home in their new stadium and they can take advantage of any fatigue shown by Palace today.

Forest's season is not getting any better, and they are now four defeats and two draws in the last six (all comps). Newcastle are playing well and have nine goals in their last three games. Hard to see Forest keeping them out.

Wolves showed some good resilience last time to get a 1-1 draw at Spurs and a similar performance today will see them hard to beat. Brighton keep churning out some very good results and could sneak a win again today, but with Wolves at home they may have to settle for a draw.

Maghlaak last ran over hurdles in July and was a close second, upped to today's sort of trip for the first time. Only 6 years old and looks like there's more to come from him at this sort of trip with the ground riding good. In his three flat runs since, two have been big asks and the ground was too slow last time. He will be fit for today, and in this weaker race than the one in July, he looks to have a winning opportunity.

Dalileo has found it tough after the weight rise for the win in July but has gradually seen it drop again without running too badly in mostly better races than today's. On a workable mark today and with the rider's 7lb claim, the good ground specialist who has run this track well before could see hold-up tactics deployed to good effect in a race that should not be short on pace. Looks good EW value with a four-place payout offered.

Mini Fortune carries 4lb less than when 4th over CD in May in a race that was run 8 seconds quicker than the race in which a fair few of today's rivals, including Gaelic Park, contested here on 11th September. The selection looked fit enough last time when staying on over shorter last time and even at 3lb out of the handicap today, has the ability to win a race like this.

Platinum ran a big race in a competitive event at Worcester last time but did not quite see out the trip. Should be suited well by this trip on a galloping track, and there looks more to come from the 6-year-old yet.
