Verdict
Broken Spear ended last year with a victory over 7f at Doncaster while TIPPERARY TIGER was beaten only a neck over the same distance at Wolverhampton last time with Toussarok behind. But Karl Burke’s charge had won over track and trip before that and gets another chance in his current form. He’s preferred to stablemate Shallow Hal while Patsy Fagan is upped in class and Global Warning and Recall The Show debut for new yards.
