TIDAL RUN won a similar event at Brighton under today's amateur last time and is a winner over this longer trip. She gets the vote just ahead of Gold Rules who is reunited with his winning partner but has recorded all of his victories so far over shorter trips. The latter had a below par Tinseltown behind at Beverley earlier but Brian Rothwell's charge was more like his old self at Haydock last time while Call Of Duty scored over today's distance at the same track recently and makes more appeal than last month's 1m2f winner Pertuis.
