Maadraa ran well when second over 2m1f here in March but hasn't been able to reproduce that form since. Diamanpeg returned to his best when scoring at Stratford on Thursday but the penalty has done him no favours here, while Vin Rose lost her way in the spring after a couple of placed efforts over the winter and returns from a break today. Be Ashored disappointed last time so we'll give the nod to TIGGER, who bounced back to form here last time when third to stablemate Surfboard. He is 4lb higher now but his young rider can claim 10lb, which could prove decisive.
