Additional (7/5), Delagate This Lord (3/1), Under Curfew (4/1), Seneca Chief (7/1), Newyorkstateofmind (10/1), Nefarious (25/1)

UNDER CURFEW has thrived this season, winning all 4 outings under this rider, and a 4 lb rise for his latest success at Chepstow may not be enough to prevent a 5-timer. Delagate This Lord made a good start for this yard when beaten only by an improving 3-y-o at Bath on his return 3 weeks ago and is feared most.
