Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. 9/2 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, very good second of 10 in handicap at Chester (15.9f, soft) 16 days ago, staying on well. This is weaker and he's capable of going one better.

Forecasts

Tigerten (11/8), Rory The Cat (5/1), Easy Equation (11/2), Sugarpiehoneybunch (17/2), Oasis Prince (11/1), Kindgirl (12/1), Sam Sarphati (16/1), Storm Spirit (20/1), Schumann (50/1), Buto (66/1), Zuckerberg (66/1), Third Avenue (66/1), Lilla Cross (80/1)

Verdict

TIGERTEN reacted well to first-time cheekpieces when a staying-on second in a much better race at Chester last time so, from a goo draw, he's an obvious choice to go one better. Sugarpiehoneybunch also arrives in form and the longer trip should be no issue, so she's regarded as the main threat.
