Verdict

Although he is not one to trust implicitly Tiny Tim does have some fair form at this level and is just preferred over Grand View and Mahlstick in this tightly matched six-furlong dash. Of the rest: Almara and Second Generation are hard to split on their recent form and ones to watch out for if they are pitched in against each other in the near future - while Tong Ice showed little on his reappearance and is best watched despite returning to a more appropriate trip. Therefore, with the most reliable form on offer on a line through Baytown Flyer, Andrew Balding's perseverance can finally be paid off if Tiny Tim does himself justice tonight.
