This handicap can go the way of TANLEY; Cranworth Blaze and Rann Na Cille rate as the main dangers. The selection arrives here in decent form having slipped down the ratings and he was only narrowly beaten by Todber at Mussleburgh last time out. He looks to have been found a good opportunity to get his head in front here at the nineteenth time of asking. Cranworth Blaze wasn't beaten far over this course and distance by Wreningham last time, but she shapes as though she will be better over slightly further and we will watch her until she is upped in distance. Rann Na Cille should be capable of making the frame on the evidence of her recent fourth here over this course and distance behind Desert Opal. Henry Candy's Tittle would have claims on the pick of her form but she is not the most consistent and we will stick with Tanley to lead them home.
