Both of these front-runners step up in trip. Carrigillihy completed a double over 1m4f earlier but MOLIWOOD is less exposed. The latter made a winning start in handicaps when making all at Newcastle in first-time blinkers and further progress is expected from Marco Botti’s charge having been gelded since.
