Verdict

TIKKINTHEBOX has only run once this year and is in the veteran stage now but his last victory came on this track off a 27lb higher mark and he could take some catching if fully wound-up. First Angel, second at Southwell after winning at Stratford in May, is the obvious danger as though Fanzio is back on a winning mark, he’s barely raised a gallop since switching stables and Heronord is now 0-23.
