    Verdict

    A dual winner in 2019, TIGERSKIN looks to have improved further after wind surgery. He scored by four lengths at Newmarket on his recent comeback and can shrug off a penalty in this. The Dancing Poet never threatened when third over 1m2f here last time though the winning hurdler stays this far while River Icon went close at Hamilton when last racing over today’s trip but looks high enough in the weights on his return to action as does Funny Man. Overhaugh Street is another having his first start of the year with The Navigator and Blue Medici preferred.
