AFRICAN TIGER can put a fall last time out behind him by claiming this opening contest. Harry Fry's charge is unexposed and races off a 3lb higher mark than on that occasion with the trip and slightly quicker ground predicted here both likely to suit. Courtinthemiddle is another in with a decent chance in this contest following a victory at Kempton earlier this month, he is another who is unexposed and can claim second off his revised mark while Theatre Rouge can finish third off top weight in what looks a competitive event.
