No.4 Distant Past
3.30 Wolverhampton
1pt each-way at 12-1 generally

Distant Past has returned to form in recent starts and built on his promising third at the Curragh in July - over a 61/2f trip that stretches his stamina - with victory in a 5f handicap at Leicester in September off a mark 6lb lower than today's.

A close third of 16 off a mark of 88 at Ascot on his next start, he is only 1lb higher today and proved he remains in form when second in his group on the wrong side of the track - sixth overall - in a 5f Catterick handicap last month.
