Tullow Tonic is on a real roll but has a double penalty after completing a hat-trick at Sandown last Saturday. ST GREGORY is also in fine form and Nicky Richards’ stayer can grab a four-timer with the trainer utilising Ryan Day’s claim to help offset another 7lb rise. Lochnell arrives off the back of a third win at Ayr but has only been successful at the Scottish track so far. Vic's Last Stand appears in the handicapper’s grip while the ground may be too quick for Plumpton second Theatre Goer.
