ONE STYLE missed the whole of last year and took advantage of a slide down the weights to score at Hereford recently. He’s been raised 5lb but doesn’t have much to fear from these with Apache Pilot looking the main threat on a close-up third at Hexham though that was back in the June of last year. San Pietro is back on a winning mark but continues to struggle and Kingston has shown nothing so far this year. Court Painter managed to place over these fences last month but reverted to his more usual poor form on his latest start.
