Verdict

Come On Tier beat Lacan in a seller at Lingfield in April and debuts for new connections on his return. Tamerlane finished a close-up fourth over today’s trip at Doncaster last time though his earlier double here came over 7f and KINGSTON KURRAJONG is preferred. The latter won this last year off a 4lb higher mark and a recent second at Brighton suggests another bold bid is in the offing from Bill Knight’s charge. Gainsay looks best of the remainder.
