In depth

Verdict

The veteran Tsar Paul just sneaks into the bottom of this handicap and with regular rider Ana O'Brien able to use her claim he should be capable of reaching the frame. Coreczka won over the track and trip in October but has found a 4lb rise too much for her in two subsequent starts. TRIBAL PATH hasn't won since scoring for Mark Johnston at Lingfield three years ago. He's better handicapped on Turf but has run very well on his last two visits here and Donnagh O'Connor can steer him home. Tansanite looks a major threat as Tommy Stack's lightly-raced grey was in the lead at this trip last month before fading in the closing stages. It's unlikely he'll remain a 47-rated handicapper for much longer.
