Cieren Fallon could have partnered Aegeus, who has been getting closer, but instead rides Rudy Lewis, a winner on Tapeta in June. Corked won in a lower grade over track and trip in June but reappears 6lb higher. Embrace The Moment wasn’t suited by soft going at Chepstow last month having won earlier at Pontefract and can’t be ignored but it’s about time MAKTHECAT was getting his head in front on Turf. He’s already run well on a couple of occasions here and the return to a longer trip is in his favour.
