The Hannon yard has a good record in this and TYSON should go close. He was beaten only a neck over 6f at Ascot on his handicap bow when giving the impression this extra distance would suit. Mahagoni returned a losing favourite at Chester though wasn’t beaten far while several make their handicap debuts. Fall Of Rome found a couple too good when favourite over 6f at Haydock but both Devaste and Strozzi scored over today’s trip on their latest starts.
