OH THIS IS US hasn’t won since scoring at the All-Weather Championships back in April. But he won this last year carrying top weight with Lake Volta and Arcanada behind and Richard Hannon’s charge can come out best once again. The 2017 winner Penwortham found Humble Gratitude too good here last time and the latter went in again at Newmarket on his latest start while the former’s stablemate Gabrial The Wire beat subsequent winner Barristan The Bold over 7f at the track in June. Aljady also represents Richard Fahey and headgear is fitted for the first time while Hero Hero could have been better drawn.
