Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽⁵⁾| T: P W Middleton| OR: 86

Forecasts

Mawlood (7/2), Sir Tivo (5/1), Badness Backfires (6/1), Authorizo (7/1), Eclat Des Mottes (7/1), Rostello (17/2), Pardon Me (9/1), Tidal Watch (9/1), Full Spes (14/1), Postman (18/1), Getabuck (28/1), Secret Beri (66/1)

SIR TIVO ran with credit when third on return in what was a pretty strong race for the grade, and having been eased 1 lb, he's certainly weighted to strike. Badness Backfires may well have a bigger performance in him, with Authorizo and Mawlood interesting chase debutants.
