Lark in the Park and Brandywine Bay could both go well here but we are happy to take a chance on the consistent Tirailleur. The selection hails from the shrewd John White yard and won well over 10 furlongs last time. This drop in trip should not be a problem and this dual course winner will be hard to beat. Lark in the Park is worthy of consideration after a handicap win at Bath last time but that was a modest event and more is required here. Brandywine Bay has been running well of late and this step up to eight furlongs should suit. David Kinsella takes over from Lisa Jones and with conditions to suit this one might be worth noting in the market. Of the rest, Hilarious showed plenty of speed at Windsor last time and is interesting, but we are happy to side with Tirailleur who will take plenty of beating on a track that suits
