In depth
Verdict
TILSITT hasn’t won for a while but has been racing in better contests than this and has slipped to a lenient-looking mark. Bulls Aye, by contrast, has been plying his trade at Class 6 level but was placed off this mark at Carlisle last time. Tulekya, who has travelled up from Newmarket, may be the pick of the three-year-olds ahead of Venetian.
