Verdict
TANAWAR got up on the line to beat Kirkham over the track and trip last month and can again see off the runner-up, who is still a maiden after 15 starts, and complete a double. Compton Park was behind though missed the break and can get closer. Tellovoi has managed to win nine races in his time and has gradually dropped to a winnable mark as has Short Work, a winner for Ralph Beckett but yet to strike for David O'Meara. Mango Chutney has won three races, all at a lower level than this including at Wetherby last month.
