Tamagin, Ellens Academy and Barons Spy are the three to look at here with Ellens Academy the selection. Tamagin was denied a hat trick last at Doncaster, but despite going up the handicap continues to run well. The Doncaster contest was a competitive one and he can be expected to go well again, though a three pound turnaround at the weights may seem him struggle to reverse the form with the Doncaster winner Ellens Academy. Ellens Academy is now a veteran at 12, but has won three of his last five starts. He was once rated over 100, so his current rating does not mean he is in unknown territory. He has been raised six pounds for that win but has run well here in the past, and Ellens Academy can teach his rivals a lesson here.
