David Pipe has landed this contest in the past and runs WAITARA. The French import was 2-6 in her native country and can maximise her fillies' allowance. Uncle Matthew, last seen landing a Southwell Class 6 handicap for the Gosden team, has also travelled a long way for this and Indication Rocket also has a win on the level to his name, scoring at Newcastle on his penultimate start. Alan King runs Hourless, who has also landed an all-weather handicap this year, and Donald McCain introduces the Nathaniel gelding City Of Ruins.
