TELL HALAF has been beaten out of sight on all four starts for this yard but has tumbled down the weights as a result and George Baker is an interesting booking for a horse that is at his best when held-up from off the pace. Market support would offer encouragement to his claims but he may just be worth chancing in a race where Tislaam holds obvious claims as he attempts to complete a hat-trick having avoided a penalty for his win at Pontefract. Decency has place claims but a stronger case can be made for Scottish Glen who should benefit from a strong pace at this trip. Sweet Gale has won back-to-back races in the past and can go well again whilst Footstepsofspring is too well handicapped to ignore if the market vibes are positive.
