Tony The Gent makes a quick reappearance after battling on behind Turnberry Isle here on Wednesday and the winner looks a very progressive type. Yuften is at his best giving weight away in claimers and his stable companion Allegio, a winner over 7f at this fixture two years ago, looks the better option despite an absence since September. MARSHALL JENNINGS (NAP) landed a Cork handicap in April and had a break before a close third in a Curragh handicap last month, form that would make him difficult to beat off the same mark. Wentwood is well enough handicapped to make his presence felt though this could prove on the short side.
