CESAR DU GOUET is Olly Murphy’s only runner here this evening. He’s been running off higher marks over fences since last seen over hurdles and could dominate this small field if allowed his own way out in front. Iolani won over track and trip just under a year ago when 3lb higher but he’s not been firing this year. Outcrop and Prince Khurram finished 1-2 at Bangor last month and there should be nothing between them on today’s terms but Canford Thompson is a little quirky and steps up a grade. Touchedbyanangel was engaged yesterday at Perth.
