Withdrawn
Nonrunner
GUNNER LINDLEY may be able to make light of his draw. Barry Hills' front-runner will be all the better for his run in the Lincoln though he does have a little to find to overturn Newmarket form in September with Dance And Dance, who was runner-up in the Spring Mile on his reappearance. Fremont may prove the pick of Richard Hannon's three runners with Richard Hughes in the saddle while the lightly-weighted Guest Book is preferred to Mark Johnston's other entry Hacienda, even though the latter finished second at Thirsk on his reappearance and has Kieren Fallon to do the steering. Treble Jig and Dunn'o are other with claims, and Julienas wouldn't be without a chance back over a mile though might need this.
