Ciaron Maher and Craig Williams will team again in a bid to claim back-to-back wins in The Everest after Godolphin named Tempted would run in its slot.

Bella Nipotina provided Maher and Williams with victory in the Group 1 The Everest (1200m) at Randwick last year.

This year’s race will be staged on October 18 and there is now only one slot to be filled with Yulong Investments searching for a replacement after Private Harry was sent for a spell.

As a two-year-old, Tempted was successful twice at Group 2 level before running a gallant third in the Group 1 Golden Slipper (1200m) at Rosehill.

Returning as a three-year-old, Tempted won the Group 2 Run To The Rose before finishing third behind the Godolphin-owned colt Beiwacht in the Group 1 Golden Rose (1400m) at Rosehill on September 27
