Toga Tiger was winning for the second time over course and distance when scoring here in January and is only 2lb higher today. Toymaker has a shout with a claimer's 7lb allowance in his favour but Reggie Bond is 10lb higher than when winning here in January. TAQNEEN is not the most reliable but had excuses encountering soft ground over a longer trip at Ripon last time. He finished a close-up fifth at Kempton earlier and gets the nod on that form. Pearl Ransom is usually thereabouts without getting his head in front and it could be a similar story here.
