In depth
Verdict
The first of four tough handicaps that make up the remainder of today's card can go to TISLAAM. The grey had to be angled out to make his bid in the closing stages at Kempton last time after running into a wall of horses, but still found enough to get his head in front. He's worth sticking with here. His chief rivals have been racing against each other lately and Norville has come out best the last twice. He beat Primo De Vida and Al Gillani here last time, but may struggle confirming earlier form with Dvinsky and Pelmanism. The latter could prove the main danger as Prize Point may not get his own way up front today.
