Verdict

BOOK OF TALES has improved for going handicapping and finished third at Newcastle last week. A line through the fourth gives him the beating of Edwina Sheeran, who finished in front of both Philos and Stelios when second at Thirsk last time. Kilcummin debuts on Turf having faced tougher opposition at Lingfield recently while American Oak goes handicapping for the first time and may finish closer.
