Verdict
A few of these look closely matched and only half-a-length separated Paddy's Rock and Onda District in the race won by Lopito de Vega here last month. Pike Corner Cross shared favouritism that day but only beat one home so now has a bit to prove. Henpecked wasn't winning out of turn at Hamilton and has only been raised a pound but she's never won outside of Scotland. Best Boy may have benefited from a comeback run but TIGA TUAN could be worth another try over this trip as she could only muster the one pace when third over a mile last time at Redcar.
