Favourites haven't had a great record in this race over the last 10 years so while Tajneed won this race in 2008 when just 2lb better off; this would have to be a negative against the likely market leader. Kevin Ryan's stable is in good form and he is triple handed here with Tiddliwinks looking the pick of the trio. The four-year-old looks well weighted now below his last winning mark but so far all of his winning has been done on an artificial surface, though, he did ran a cracking race in defeat at Goodwood last time. That said, RILEYSKEEPINGFAITH was only just held in the Stewards Cup at the same meeting, which looks a slightly stronger performance and with the form from that race already beginning to work out, he may just have the edge.
