Alfred Richardson seeks the hat-trick following back-to-back autumn wins on Tapeta at Newcastle (1m), but it's slightly surprising that connections didn't persist over the winter months on the AW, and this race is his first over 7f since November 2016.
Lualiwa won this race last year from a 2lb higher mark but with the benefit of a more recent run on that occasion, whilst
Hayadh,
Three Saints Bay and
LOVE DREAMS all locked horns over C&D in October. Although the selection came out worst of that trio there (sixth), he has spent time in the winter sun in Dubai since and arrives off the back of an excellent second to Sanaadh on the Kempton Park Polytrack (7f).
