TIGERS TALE (NAP) has been running well without success on the Polytrack here in Class 2 company. His latest fourth to Grey Mirage was his best effort yet and Roger Teal's charge can race off a 10lb lower mark back on Turf. Captain Bob scored in this grade at Sandown last term and can figure on his reappearance while Secret Art ran well in the Spring Cup at Newbury and drops in class for this. Arrowzone faces tougher opposition on the back of a win at Pontefract but Starwatch is better over longer trips nowadays and would appreciate some cut in the ground.
