In depth

Verdict

Where's Tiger was well backed on his reappearance at Doncaster and started favourite at Pontefract earlier this month but again found a couple too good. Chocolate Diamond has his first run for a new yard but Frontline Phantom will strip fitter for an outing at Doncaster last month and Save The Bees could also get involved. DANCIN ALPHA ran well in three of his four runs last season and starts off in handicaps on a fair enough mark. He may be capable of losing his maiden tag at the fifth time of asking.
