Sassoon's last success was in a Redcar seller last November while Tangled has been looking a couple of pounds high since completing a double last summer. Five-times winner Zumurud has been beaten off this mark the last twice since scoring at Nottingham so this can go to DEPUTY (NAP). Michael Dods' charge is back on the same mark as his last victory, which was gained on soft ground, and he ran well enough in slightly higher grade last time. Brandon Wilkie was on board when Parys Mountain won at Catterick in May.
