In depth
Verdict
Tiny Tim gets the confident vote ahead of Beauteous and Top Style. The selection has been in fair form of late without winning. However he could not have been found an easier race and a reproduction of his latest third behind Cumbrian Princess should suffice here. Beauteous rates the main danger on his latest fourth behind Kirkby's Treasure but he is far from consistent and for that reason he is opposed. Top Style is another worthy of respect as he is sure to strip fitter than for his latest run but he will need to improve on that effort to score. Of the remainder Baytown Flyer would have a chance on his best form but disappointed for no reason last time so can not be backed with any confidence and for the winner we return to Tiny Tim.
