TIGER REIGNS took advantage of his tumble down the weights when returning an easy winner at Wolverhampton last week. A 6lb penalty may not be enough to prevent the follow-up and John Butler's charge can go in again. Brave Decision is chasing a hat-trick off a 4lb higher mark after a narrow victory at Kempton last month and Fonterutoli will appreciate the step back up in distance as he scored over track and trip on his penultimate start. Secret Song went close in a maiden last time but handicap debutant Charlotte Rhodes may prove a bigger threat back on this surface after failing to see out 1m3f at Southwell.
