This looks between the two penalised winners. TINTINTIN was giving 7lb away when second to the progressive Spirit D‘Aunou last time and should have the measure of Jupiter Allen on that form given the latter narrowly beat the same horse on level terms before that. Film D‘action was a disappointing favourite in a bumper on his debut while Chase Me Forever is related to a couple of winners over hurdles and is preferred of the newcomers.
