Bengal Tiger^p²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: R L Moore| T: A P O'Brien

2/9

A lot sharper with cheekpieces fitted on second start when runner-up in a C&D maiden 24 days ago. In top hands and he sets the standard with Moore presumably choosing him over well-bred stablemate Major Triumph.

Forecasts

Bengal Tiger (2/9), Major Triumph (6/1), Scolyer (9/1), Waysong (20/1), Nakota River (20/1), Rejoinder (22/1), One Flash (66/1), Earl Of Persia (125/1)

Aidan O'Brien probably holds the aces here with BENGAL TIGER taken to put his experience to good use having chased home a next-time-out improver over C&D 3 weeks ago. Market confidence behind stablemate Major Triumph would put a slightly different slant on things, while Rejoinder could be a different proposition this time.
