The Pipe team seem determined to get a win out of Tigger, who turns out again quickly after finishing second over 2m6f here on Thursday. That was the third time in a row he'd made the frame at this track and he's getting closer. Tiger Line didn't do a lot wrong when runner-up over 2m7f at Hereford last month though had earlier, along with Will If I Want, Orion Express, Drumbeater and Englishtown, finished behind KRISTOFFERSEN over this C&D. The top weight is only 4lb higher today and can add to his tally with no question marks over his stamina. Public Esteem was runner-up in a claimer last time but looks vulnerable at the weights back in handicaps.
