Only 1-10 for Dermot Weld but was highly tried on occasions; made his debut for Richard Hughes in the Chester Cup (2m2f, good) and, having broken well from his wide draw, he put up a bold show from the front only to be reeled in late in the day; a 2lb nudge is easy to stomach and dropping back to 1m6f could work given the cruising speed he showed at Chester.

J: Finley Marsh

T: Richard Hughes

Sole win (ten starts) for Dermot Weld was a maiden in 2024; has tried Group/Listed races but his most competitive show last year came when fourth of 14 in 1m6f handicap at Glorious Goodwood, off 3lb higher than today; tried a hood on AW debut at Lingfield in February and has since changed stables (same owners); has a bit to prove and such a wide draw is unlikely to help.

All nine starts on turf; best effort last year when fourth of 14 in 1m6f Glorious Goodwood handicap off 1lb higher in August; well held in 2m Curragh Group 3 and 1m7f French Listed event when last seen in November; hooded first time on return.

Won a maiden in 20245 and has run well in defeat at times this year but was below form at Doncaster last time and has work to do in this grade.

J: William Buick

T: D K Weld

Brother to top-class Ghaiyyath; last season ended in June; failed to make a serious impact in Group/Listed races this term before his fourth of 14 off this mark on handicap debut at Glorious Goodwood (1m6f, good to soft) six weeks ago; needs to build on that but has each-way claims.
