Verdict

A tricky finale in which it may be worth taking a chance with Tyzack ahead of Society Music and Myfrenchconnection. The last two named are both fairly consistent performers and both come into the race in reasonable form. Society Music is on the same mark as when successful in June, has made the frame on each of her last two starts and usually runs well here. Myfrenchconnection is no more than feasibly treated but he ran perfectly well at Pontefract last time and can be given a chance on that form. Pitbull may also figure but it may prove to be worth taking a chance on Tyzack returning to form with Neil Callan a noteworthy booking. He was entitled to need the run at Newmarket but he was dropped a couple of pounds afterwards and this looks less competitive. He's useful on his day and more than capable of winning in this grade so it may just be worth having a speculative interest in Tyzack.
