Tifl was placed in a claimer at Leicester recently and Urban Spirit posted a better effort dropped into a seller at Redcar last time. Naupaka and Street Poet have slipped down the weights but have yet to show any signs of improving so another chance goes to BORN TO REASON. The latter landed a double at Wolverhampton before running into trouble in the closing stages back at the same track just three days ago and should go close with a clear run in this.
