Verdict
Micky Hammond and Graham Lee teamed up to win this last year with Pertuis and Typhon could give them a double. He hasn't run on the Flat for more than 18 months but did win a handicap over hurdles at Sedgefield last month. Where's Tiger was well backed for an apprentice's race at Doncaster on the opening day of the Turf season and only found one too good. He's creeping up the weights but should be thereabouts again while Sellingallthetime has been knocking on the door on Fibresand, though looks a little one-paced. YUL FINEGOLD found a nice turn of foot to score at Chelmsford last month. He might be improving and, only a couple of pounds higher, can pounce late to land this under Jamie Spencer.
