Verdict
Tiger Grass has taken on a new lease of life recently and has risen in the weights accordingly. He is still well treated on old form and may be capable of defying top weight. Johnston's Art has more too do than when winning a conditional jockeys event over course and distance and a bigger threat may be Bodfari Signet, who tries this trip for the first time. A winner here over two and a half miles, he is well worth a try at this trip and with no confirmed front-runner in the field, the pace may not be that strong.
