An interesting bumper to close, with quite a few housing potential but the safe option is taken with TYRRELL'S SUCCES for whom Ali Stronge has secured the services of the champion jockey. He concedes weight all round, having scored over course and distance back in April when showing a good attitude to make all and has been presumably been awaiting better ground. Tell The Tale, As The Crow Flies, Go Another One and Toberdowney constitute a strong Irish challenge which may be best assessed by the relative market strength of the quartet. Topham Bay is an newcomer of note for Lucinda Russell and Loud And Clear could improve on what at face value looks a poor debut run in a decent Musselburgh bumper back in February as he was the subject of decent market support.
