ORIENTAL TIGER has been getting closer and was second over 1m4f here last month before finishing third at Haydock. He is just preferred to Trafalgar Rock, who made the frame over today's trip at Musselburgh earlier this month when well ahead of Slipper Satin. Haymarket and Mysterial failed to cope with a rise in the weights last time for earlier wins and King Of Paradise has struggled since landing a double in lower grade contests in August.
