A distinct lack of winning form on show here and TISLAAM gets the tentative vote. He was beaten a length when second over C&D last week with Daffydowndilly and Danzoe immediately behind and Dvinsky and Imjin River further adrift. Torres Del Paine is 3lb higher than his win here in December but is having his first run since, while Pose went close at Windsor last month, but reverted to type when last at Sandown on her latest start. Sherjawy may prove best of the rest.
