Timeless Treaty (G)
Started career 2-2 over hurdles and coped best with testing conditions when the wide-margin winner of a 6-runner novice (20.5f) here at the start of last month. Couldn't justify favouritism in a Grade 3 event over the same trip here a fort…

Amirite (G)

Ottizzini (M)
[P1]
Runner-up in a listed mares event at Kelso last March. Little show sent chasing, or back over hurdles last time, and cheekpieces now reached for.
