Verdict
A high draw is usually an advantage here in sprints when the ground is on the firm side so it may be worth siding with Toppling, who is preferred over Tappit, Captain Cloudey and Majik. The Milton Bradley-trained five-year-old had been hard to win with after losing his maiden tag here when trained by Amanda Perrett as a three-year-old. However, he has returned to form with a vengeance this season and has benefited from the Bradley magic to score twice already this term. He then pulled too hard for an inexperienced jockey at Goodwood and is better judged on his previous form. The booking of Darryll Holland should bring out a better performance this evening and Toppling is taken to come out on top over his stablemate Tappit, who has plenty on at the weights despite his rider's claim.
