Tinandali has left Dermot Weld for David O’Meara and may need today’s run. Nicholas T has been a grand servant for Jim Goldie but isn’t getting any younger. Sandret is much less exposed and will have his ground and Oasis Prince will have benefited from his run at Haydock and this is his trip nowadays. HOT TEAM (NAP) was slowly away on his reappearance but made eye-catching late headway and should win races over this longer trip as a four-year-old. Richard Fahey’s gelding gets the nod with Dark Lochnagar likely to prove the pick of the remainder.
