TANTIVY improved for the extra distance when runner-up in soft going over track and trip last time and Richard Hannon's charge looks to have every chance on that form. It was also soft ground when Damage Control finished second over a mile at Nottingham and he can figure if lasting home. Notation ran well in the mud at Nottingham last time and is another to consider stepping up in trip today while Brentford Hope has a middle-distance pedigree and is preferred to Platinum Prince of the newcomers.
