TIPALONG TYLER won easily over this trip at Warwick last week so it’s no surprise to see her turned out again quickly under a penalty here. My Lady Grey couldn’t cope with a further 8lb rise when bidding for a course and distance hat-trick nine days ago and may have to settle for a place with Innerpickle also likely to find at least one too good again. Watching Brief is now 0-25 under Rules while this trip may stretch the stamina of Flying Focus.
