TIGERTEN won over 2m at Chepstow recently and has form on soft ground. He’s taken to stay this marathon trip with Oisin Murphy keeping the winning partnership intact. Anisoptera has won three times over 2m on the all-weather while Van Meegeren scored over a shorter trip here last month and has gone close over hurdles in the past. Be My Sea is a dual winner over hurdles but has yet to win on the Flat while Cloud Thunder’s only success so far came in a bumper. Russian Rumour will handle the ground and is preferred to the returning Vorashann.
