Miss Tiki, tried with a variety of tactics, appears at her most effective when allowed to stride on. She's likely to have the chance to dictate here, although she disappointed on her only start going right-handed. Master Grey remains fairly consistent but hasn't won since 2019 and Fen Tiger, whilst posting some respectable efforts, is 0-15. Urban Forest has a very mixed profile but he too has yet to score and connections now reach for a tongue tie and blinkers. In contrast, CENTRAL CITY has a career record of 10-70 and Gaye Kellaway has coaxed him back into form with three strong efforts. He goes well for Bradley Furniss and looks the safest option.
