TIRADIA was second over a longer trip here at the start of the month but also scored over course and distance a year ago. He can take advantage of this drop in grade to resume winning ways. Scoppio Del Carro is also eased in class and should figure, despite a big weight, while A Little Bit Dusty beat a better-fancied rival in a seller at Stratford on Thursday in which the front two pulled clear. Fair Loch is back in the right grade after last month's run at Market Rasen while Toptempo looks capable of picking up a race like this in the coming months.
