Tinsill is an unknown quantity in soft ground but has every chance on last month's win at Redcar. He beat Raise A Billion on that occasion and the latter went on to defeat Scoreline over track and trip a fortnight ago. Scoreline has subsequently won at Southwell so those already mentioned look closely matched on collateral form. Dark Crystal's win at Redcar came over 7f and Lady Ranger is upped 10lb for an easy win at Chepstow which leaves WHITE FLAG. Tim Easterby's filly has slipped 9lb down the weights since winning her maiden and a chance is taken she can come good once again off her current mark.
