MISTER TINKTASTIC has won three of his last four races and can win again at the expense of Suzie Quw and Lucky Numbers. The selection runs off the same mark as he did when scoring in his last race at Pontefract. He seems to be a three year old on the upgrade and if reproducing his recent form he is difficult to oppose. Suzie Quw landed a handicap at Haydock on heavy ground back in May but she has disappointed in both her last two starts. Further rain could enhance her chances, though she will need to raise her game if she is to overturn our selection. Lucky Numbers caught the eye when finishing second at Haydock on his penultimate outing but was outclassed in a better race at Ascot last time out. He will be more at home back in this grade so any market support should not be ignored. Mister Tinktastic is the form horse in the race and is the percentage call.
