Verdict

Ask The Tycoon followed his victory between the flags in the summer with a comfortable debut victory in an Ayr bumper last month. His pedigree is all about jumping and he looks a nice recruit. Mcgowan's Pass won a heavy-ground bumper here in good style in February so is an obvious threat while Cool Mix made a reasonable start over timber at Kelso and, if his jumping has been ironed out, should get into the mix. That remark also applies to Silver Bullion, who also made a promising start over timber at the latter track. TRESHNISH finished a couple of lengths in front of Cool Mix at Kelso and, as he's only four, has scope to do much better and can come out on top in a tricky contest.
