Verdict

A few with chances but Neil Mulholland's low-mileage 6-y-o TELL THE TALE can race off a 3 lb lower mark than when a fair seventh at Taunton on just his second go in handicap company so he edges the vote. Nelson Gate is feared most on the back of a resurgent fourth here with Jager Time and Lady Henrietta also in the mix.
