TIGER MAGUIRE hasn't done a lot wrong so far and ran out a ready winner on similar ground over C&D earlier this month. He may well be capable of giving 7lb to points winner Village Vic, who makes his debut under Rules today. Noble Perk was second on his debut here in January but well beaten on a return visit to the track in April and hasn't been seen since. He may still be best of the rest, however, as the others with experience have shown little and the pedigree of newcomers Bear Fox Ben and Loughalder is nothing special.
