EZ TIGER didn't enjoy the rub of the green when a strong-finishing eighth at Doncaster yet can race off a 2 lb lower mark here so is worth siding with. Blue Shark rates the obvious danger in his quest for a five-timer, with handicap debutant Bertie B and Fakenham third Lifetime Legend two to consider for place purposes.
