Tyrur Ted should go well again having won under today's apprentice at Nottingham last time, though it was testing ground on that occasion. Special Mix returned a losing favourite here recently after scoring at Pontefract earlier and Day Of Destiny makes more appeal on his latest narrow-margin defeat at Newcastle. Gabrial The Thug was well beaten in lesser company here last month and the vote goes to the unexposed TUSCAN FUN, who will have come on for a reappearance third at Ripon where he finished six lengths clear of the rest of the field.
