In depth
Verdict
Tiger Tiger makes a quick return to the track and can supplement his victory at Chester by beating My Paris and Nightspot. Jamie Poulton's colt returned from a working holiday in Dubai and showed plenty of promise when four lengths behind King's Thought. He showed the benefit of that run when cruising in from Divine Gift last week. With further improvement expected he looks to have a great chance of making it back to back victories. Kevin Ryan's yard is flying at the moment and he runs My Paris who looks a danger to all following an excellent second behind Ballast at Thirsk last time. Meanwhile Nightspot is from a top yard and will improve on a recent fourth behind Spring Jim at Doncaster. Shahzan House has been knocking on the door in good company and looks the pick of the remainder, but it is hard to ignore Tiger Tiger in this mood and he gets our confident vote.
