Race preview
Archduke Ferdinand won a shade cosily at Redcar recently and can feature again, despite a 5lb rise. Southwell winner Prince Of Pillo faced a tough task at York last time and is not easily dismissed at this lower level, but a chance is taken that HYPERFOCUS bounces back to form. Tim Easterby's veteran won this contest off a higher mark in 2024 and looks to have plenty in his favour here.
