James Doyle J Neil Mulholland, Limpley Stoke T
TIMEFORM VIEW Dual winner for Richard Hannon in 2015 but seen almost exclusively over jumps in recent years. Did win a Perth hurdle last month but will need useful effort to defy a mark in mid-80s back on Flat. TFRHHIII BHA84

TIMEFORM VIEW Pair of 1 1/2m Brighton wins this year, the latter under Oisin Murphy 17 days ago. That form received a boost when the second won next time so 3lb rise doesn’t look severe. TFRHHHHI BHA79
