Tinseltown was only beaten a head off this mark at Sedgefield last time and is sure to attract support in this finale with McCoy booked to take over the reins. He should go close to shedding his maiden tag but OVERPRICED finally came good against higher-rated rivals over C&D last week and, with regular pilot Stephen Mulqueen able to claim the full 10lb, can follow up under a penalty. Destiny Blue is proving expensive to follow over hurdles but the lightly-raced Solis will strip fitter for his fourth at Perth and is preferred to the returning Highland River and Laybach.
