THE TATLING maybe getting on in years but he is in the middle of a purple patch right now and can win again at the expense of Doc Jones and Godfrey Street. The selection was a one time Group-winning performer. Trainer Milton Bradley has had a couple of dire years and as a result his horses have become well handicapped. That has certainly been the case with The Tatling and he still looks potentially well treated so is worth staying on the right off once again. Doc Jones comes from a yard in form and managed to break his maiden tag at Thirsk in June. He has performed well in defeat since then and he is sure to give his supporters another good run for their money. Godfrey Street is a capable sort on his day but his recent form does not provide a great deal of confidence and for that reason he should be treated with caution. The Tatling will be popular winner at his local track and takes preference.
