Ryan Moore is back in action with four rides for George Boughey on today’s card and partners EHTEYAT, who returned to winning ways back over 1m6f at Southwell. The latter has a hike in the weights to contend with but this longer trip should bring further progress. Dance To Paris has a shout back on a winning mark while September Power was beaten only a length over track and trip last time. Smith narrowly beat Reeceltic here last month while Sharp Distinction is not out of this if today’s tongue-tie has the desired effect.
