Tribal Warrior included a course and distance success among last year’s three wins and returns to action along with Pepys. The latter ended last year with a victory over track and trip but this is tougher while Raselasad went close here back in April, though has failed to build on that. TOMMY G disappointed when only fifth at Ayr last time though still finished in front of Jacob Black. He’d won under today’s apprentice at the same track before that, with Glengarry back in fifth, and gets another chance today reunited with Corey Madden.
