9/2

Plenty of encouragement when third in a novice at Sandown 8 days ago. Should have learned from that and, if the race doesn't come too soon, he's likely to feature.

Form: 3

Forecasts

Big Sip (7/4), Tiger Mask (11/4), Angel Hunter (9/2), Wiesaam (14/1), Georginio (16/1), Accentuate (18/1), Navid (25/1), Spardakos (25/1), Parole D'oro (28/1), Sea Founder (33/1), Northern Blaze (66/1), Matharu (80/1)

TIGER MASK's second at York last time has been boosted in no uncertain terms by the winner since and he has proven himself on soft ground, so he takes preference over Big Sip, a big eye-catcher first time out. Angel Hunter also makes plenty of appeal.
