Verdict
Tanforan has been slow to come to hand this term but put in an impressive effort at Chepstow last time so is expected to do well here as is Alan Swinbank's Mountain Cat but we side with SINGORA LADY. The selection was only narrowly beaten last time and a reproduction of that effort would see her in the thick of things again. Mountain Cat is down to a decent mark again and he ran a much-improved race last time while Pianoforte was a course and distance winner this time last year. He hasn't been seen since last August though and may need the outing.
