This is reportedly TIGER ROLL's last race and how fitting it would be if he could end his remarkable career with a fourth success in this and a sixth Festival win all told. He hasn't shown that much this term but it was a similar story before he bolted up last year and he's taken to see off classy stablemate Delta Work, who makes his cross-country debut. Shady Operator may prove best of the rest.
