PIECEDERESISTANCE BACK ON THE LEVEL.

We have one runner on Saturday at Thirsk, where the going is currently described as good to firm, good in places.

Piecederesistance has not been seen on the flat since last September, as his attentions have been on hurdling, where he has finished runner up twice at Fakenham. He hit the heady heights of 87 on the flat in his younger days, and showed the ability is still there when finishing runner up at Newmarket from 3lb higher than now last August, form which would see him well in the the mix here.

Piecederesistance goes to post for the 0-75 handicap, over one mile and four furlongs, at 2.50.pm, with Aiden Brookes taking the ride.
