Dillarchie beat September Daisy, Fiadh and Velasco when rallying to land the spoils at Wetherby last month. Freethinker was pulled up on his belated reappearance at Southwell but should strip fitter today.

PIPERS CROSS won his bumper on good ground so today’s slightly better surface may suit Patrick Wadge’s mount, placed here and at Newcastle in March on heavy going.
