Holy Eleanor attempted to make all over 7f at Lingfield last month and was caught right on the line. Her two later runs came on Tapeta so she's respected back on this surface. Sound Mixer threatened to win a race when a close fourth at Newcastle but couldn't find a finishing burst over today's track and trip next time. Rapidash has only shown moderate form to date but looks the type to improve this season but A Go Go has shown his best form on Tapeta, including a victory at Wolverhampton in October. TILTILYS ROCK had shown nothing and was a 66/1 chance when staying on strongly over the minimum at Newcastle last month and holds A Go Go on that run so a similar effort could be good enough for this.
