TYGER BAY likes to finish with a late rattle but things didn’t go his way at Kempton last time. He’d won easily at the same track before that and gets another chance in this lower grade. Lilkian has been thereabouts without threatening the winner since landing a double in August while Fauvette floundered in soft going at Pontefract last time but returns to the all-weather with a shout. Silver Nemo is usually in the mix at this level but hasn’t raced since July.
