Tribal Art began the campaign landing an Ayr maiden over a mile and returned to winning ways over 1m3f at Kempton last month for which he's been raised 3lb. Taxmeifyoucan has managed to win nine races, including five over timber, but appears to need much further than this nowadays. CHARGING THUNDER had little chance in the Melrose at York but had won two of his previous three on fast going and has plenty in his favour here. The front-running Kentucky Kitten is likely to make a bold bid to lead all but has never raced over the trip.
