It's anybody's guess how the likes of Armourer, Bishop Wulstan and Cameley Dawn will fare. They have the past form to figure but all three were also beaten out of sight in the same race over track and trip last month. Tunnel Tiger is without a win in 14 starts and the handicapper refuses to relent, so a tentative vote goes to OHIO. He came good at Lingfield last time and may show further improvement though he'll need to raised 8lb for that success.
