Tell Tale, Sir Frosty and Figawin are three against the field in this tight handicap chase and the narrow vote is given to Tell Tale. The selection was a fair fifth in a much better race behind Tanterari last time out and although he has top weight he will be hard to beat with the useful Tom Malone taking off a handy five pounds. Sir Frosty rates the main danger as he has dropped to a handy mark and ran as if about to hit form when fifth behind Toulouse Lautrec but that was over a longer trip and the drop in distance is not sure to suit. Figawin is another worthy of respect on his latest fourth behind Don't Tell Jr as he looks sure to be suited by this longer trip ands is sure to have come on for his last run which was his first in three months. Of the remainder Native Cunning has dropped to a handy mark and is worth noting in the market but he has shown very little of late and for the winner we return to Tell Tale.
