Lilkian arrives in good form bidding for a treble raised 3lb after scoring at Chelmsford but TYGER BAY was winning for the third time over track and trip when landing a higher grade sprint with plenty in hand and is taken to defy a rise in the weights. Highfaluting’s earlier victory here came over 7f and Mount Mogan is preferred on his placed effort at Newmarket in July. Stone Circle slides further down the handicap and looks best of the rest.
