Tancred is harder to fancy penalised 6lb for his recent win over 6f at Brighton. Sewn Up should be thereabouts having finished ahead of La Havrese when third at Ayr but remains 3lb higher than last year's win over track and trip. Pipers Piping has been well beaten since scoring here in June so the less-exposed Exit Europe makes more appeal on only his second start handicapping. But MALLYMKUN has dropped 9lb down the weights this year and, after a recent second over course and distance, she looks set to open her account.
