KHATM defied a double penalty to land the odds over a mile at Southwell last week and land a four-timer. Versatile as regards the trip, he remains the one to beat. Classical Wave made a winning debut for a new yard when scoring at Wolverhampton last month while Oisin Murphy makes a belated return to action on recent runner-up Convertible for his only ride on the card. Subliminal won a claimer here last time beating Yuften by only a head while Noble Peace scored over today’s trip on his penultimate start.
