        In depth

        Verdict

        Tiger Tiger gets a narrow vote over Boo, with Polygonal, Willhego and Bravo Mastro all making for a close-knit contest. Tiger Tiger was given a positive ride when successful over the course-and- distance a fortnight ago, with Boo right behind, and Activo who was slowly away, further in arrears. Tiger Tiger has the plumb draw here in stall one, and that should enable him to once again edge out Boo, who will not go down without a fight. Polygonal has a rise in the weights to contend with, and in addition drops back in trip after opening his all-weather account for Ernst Oertel last time. Willhego also goes well over track and trip and lines up in good form, but he too has more to do in this company. Bravo Maestro returned to form at Wolverhampton and is still better off than on Turf, but he steps up in trip here, so having weighed up all the pros and cons, it is Tiger Tiger that gets the nod.
