Verdict

TIERNAN has yet to reproduce his third in a Hamilton listed event last summer, but this does represent a marked drop in grade and he's taken to capitalise. Steel Raven is turned out again quickly but promises to be suited by the step up to 1¼m, while Talitha Rouge is worth another chance to build on her debut promise having seemed stretched by 1½m at Thirsk last time.
