None are ruled out in the day’s feature, though Tickenwolf was beaten more than nine lengths behind Heist at Hexham in June. Veteran Creevytennant is still in good form but Russian Regent and Baileys Concerto are probably held by Kilbree Kid on their run together here last month. Sonneofpresenting is on a four-timer and has been placed over 3m, though all of his victories have come over shorter. BON CHIC ran much better after a break at Cartmel last month. She’s only once finished out of the frame over fences and is undoubtedly well treated here on her best form.
