Howzat Hiris was third at Ayr last month but is now 0-14. Perculator is almost certain to run his race again but PIPERS CROSS hinted that his turn wasn’t far away when third on heavy going at Hexham earlier this month so he gets the nod. Something Golden has been steadily improving and may be the one to chase him home with Dylan Johnston’s claim a plus.
