Tilsitt was engaged to run here yesterday having earlier finished behind MERRICOURT over track and trip. The latter landed a double here in July when also beating Bankawi and should be in the mix once again. Royal Regent and Little Ted were both successful over longer trips on their penultimate starts while the latter’s stablemate Al Erayg has tumbled down the weights. Bavardages went close in an amateurs' race last time but King Of Tonga looks stuck on his current mark.
