TUM TUM was only fifth at Newmarket on last month’s debut but the fourth-placed horse is rated 84 and that looks the strongest form on offer. He’s preferred to the likes of Tribal Warrior and Dorella while Rusper is penalised for winning over today’s trip at Lingfield last time. Of the newcomers, Sovereign Duke is related to a German 1000 Guineas winner, Mayer is a half-brother to a couple of winners and Holy Shambles is another to note.
