This looks a tight little handicap though the three-year-old Forster Street has to go on the short-list as his only previous victory came over this C&D. Plenty of others have shown a liking for this track in the past as well, however, including Strike Force, Striker Torres and Saint Thomas. TRIBAL MYTH is another proven over track and trip and he showed signs of a revival over 1m4f here last time when Ailsa Craig was behind. Kevin Ryan's five-year-olds gets a tentative vote under regular pilot Julie Burke though it would be no surprise to Peadar Miguel, who has been in action over hurdles, go well.
