Dubawi Phantom won over C&D in June before finishing fourth in better company at Stratford. Callisto Moon and Taste The Wine have both been in terrific form on the Flat this summer and warrant a second look back over timber while Causeway King ran his best race for a while when runner-up at Stratford, though was still beaten 18 lengths. MAOI CHINN TIRE had no chance in a Listed handicap back over hurdles at Market Rasen last month but has a touch of class at this level and Jennie Candlish's five-year-old may well be good enough in this. The Tiddly Tadpole looks the pick of the remainder.
