Verdict
Although Sir Mark Prescott farms races like this and the unexposed Tangible has to be respected, he may again meet his match with Maggie Tulliver on this occasion. The likes of Summer Charm and Off Colour are others that can make this interesting, while a market move for Tilt should also be monitored closely. The last named - a son of Daylami - tries this trip for the first time after looked a little short of toe over a mile and a half on the All Weather last time. However, he may appreciate a little more give underfoot and, from a mark of 75, he faces no easy task. Off Colour and Summer Charm are also upped in distance and, although in good form, have a little to prove. So the biggest threat is expected to be posed by Tangible, who showed a good attitude when winning at Sandown on his reappearance. However, he has a 6lb penalty this afternoon and, although it is tenuous to read too much into his defeat behind Maggie Tulliver over an inadequate trip last year, he does have a bit to find with the selection. Walter Swinburn's charge is out of a half-sister to Chester Cup winner Top Cees and has proved to be equally effective now that she has proved herself as a useful stayer. The form of her latest start looks solid at this stage and Maggie Tulliver is fancied to expand on her yard's good run of form this afternoon.
