Telescope gelding who found only a well-touted fellow newcomer too good at this C&D (good) just over 5 weeks ago, taking time to hit top stride. Could well put that experience to good use and go one better.

Forecasts

Tribal Glory (13/8), Thirtyfour Thirty (15/8), Professor Higgins (3/1), Ballela Blaze (9/2), Sinnaraja (25/1), Go On Ya Goodthing (66/1)

THIRTYFOUR THIRTY found only a well-touted fellow newcomer too good over C&D last month and with that experience sure to stand him in good stead, Nigel Twiston-Davies' 4-y-o is fancied to go one better. The market will no doubt provide clues with regards to the newcomers, but Professor Higgins and Tribal Glory both represent top yards and it would be no surprise to see them both in the mix.
