Tommys Geal looked to have the race in the bag over track and trip last time but was denied in the final strides by FAMOUS DYNASTY. The latter made up lots of late ground on that occasion and should make another bold bid if ridden closer to the pace. Tinker Tailor wasn’t beaten far by Wally’s Wisdom, due to run in the previous division of this, over course and distance recently and should confirm superiority with both Hong Kong Joe and Handsome Dan. Arabian Oasis ran well at Southwell last week while Argyle has won over hurdles this year but has yet to score under this code.
