RICHARD P SMITH has gone close the last twice and drops back down in distance having run into trouble when runner-up over 1m2f here a week ago. Aurelia Gold also returns to a mile and was beaten less than a length when last seen over track and trip back in February but Alwajd’s recent second came in a lowly classified race at Southwell. Costa Adeje steps up in trip still looking for a first win.
