None of these enter the fray in form and 21-race maiden Knocknakilla tackles the trip for the first time though was staying on over a mile last week. Havana Pearl has never been further than a mile and Satono Chevalier is still a maiden after a dozen starts. DR PATRICK gained his only career victory here just over a year ago and is back on the same mark. His stable has been amongst the winners lately and he can get back on the winning trail. Baron Wild won here as a two-year-old and was placed over hurdles during the summer.
