Several of these have won similar contests at the track this year and have taken it in turns to beat each other in the process. Lorimer's Lot, Oldjoesaid, Sartori, Busy Bimbo and Sir Geoffrey are all course and distance winners and any one of them could pop up here if in the mood with the latter recording the most recent success. But outside of that bunch, TINSILL has plummeted down the weights this year having won three times last term. Nigel Tnkler's charge showed a bit more when a close-up sixth at Beverley last time and gets a tentative vote to return to winning ways.
