In depth
Verdict
FEN TIGER has found only one too good under Ross Birkett the last twice now and finished five lengths clear of the rest when beaten a neck at Brighton last time. Nevendon placed here on several occasions before beaten over hurdles and John Betjeman also returns to the Flat with a shout. Nakano finished closer at Thirsk and debuts for a new yard while Man Of The Sea ran well in Jersey in July and is partnered by a leading amateur.
