Uno Mas and Tipalong Tyler were both beaten favourites last time having won their penultimate starts but Nobel Joshua wasn’t far behind a subsequent winner at Huntingdon on his first run for David Pipe. Caspers Court won over a shorter trip here last month but is 7lb higher. THE COMPOSEUR just came up short at Ludlow last month having found only one too good at Perth on his reappearance. He’s been raised a further 4lb but deserves a change of luck. Hawk's Well attracted market support when third at Newton Abbot and also has claims being among the least exposed.
