Verdict
INDIAN TINKER is closely matched with Tychaios on the form book but arrives in better nick and a low draw is normally an advantage on the sprint course here. Robert Cowell's Yarmouth winner can follow up here at the main expense of the frustrating Waseem Faris with Monsieur Jamie and Macdillon both returning from a break. Beach Rhythm has gone up a further 5lb since scoring at Warwick and Threes Grand remains out of sorts.
