Araifjan is fitted with headgear after placing over track and trip though a high draw has done him no favours. Lezardrieux and Sheepscar Lad have also been drawn wide over this dogleg 5f while Lingfield winner Equipped has run below par in both previous starts on Turf. A multiple winner on the all-weather, Young Tiger has yet to score on Turf in 21 attempts while Only Alone never figured on her handicap bow having won at Beverley earlier. PAVERS PRIDE (NAP) made all to win readily at Ayr on only his third start for Paul Midgley’s yard, who sent out last year’s winner, and is taken to defy a penalty with Oisin Murphy taking over the reins.
