Tilted Kilt

J: Taylor Fisher

T: William Knight

Went 0-14 after his winning debut at two but belatedly doubled his tally when comfortably accounting for his five rivals after a break at Southwell (1m); this is tougher, but he was runner-up in last year's Silver Bowl at Haydock which was a Class 2 handicap on turf; only 3lb higher than that day.

1-18 on turf but his only two appearances at this track saw him take third in the Spring Cup and this race in 2024; operating a bit below that level since last August, which, despite some AW success, has to put him down the pecking order in such a hot race.

Two wins over shorter as a 3yo; improved when second at Kempton on his seasonal return last month (1m) and when third at Nottingham 17 days ago he found himself poorly positioned; well worth another crack at this trip and he should make a bold bid.

Soundly beaten in mid-division on last month's stable/seasonal debut in the Spring Mile at Doncaster but that was his first encounter with slow ground and he may have needed the run; won twice over this C&D (good to firm) last spring, including this race, and could play a leading role back here.
