Verdict

A chance is taken that SERGEANT TIBBS stays this longer trip. Rated 85 after a couple of outings in conditions races over a mile at Kempton, he’ll find this easier. Moliwood should improve with a recent debut fourth over today’s trip at Nottingham under his belt but Breakfastatiffanys showed little progress at Wolverhampton last time. Golden Viola is related to a host of winners and her yard has already had a two-year-old winner.
