The Tin Miner was only beaten a nose by stablemate Blame The Game in this last year and Chris Gordon is double-handed again. One For The Wall finished ahead of Hilltown and his stable companion when second over course and distance in February so shouldn’t be far away but is giving 24lb, including a conditional’s allowance, to IF KARL’S BERG DID who is still a maiden but has generally kept better company throughout his career and should stay this longer trip being out of a Silver Patriarch mare. Flemen's Tipple appeared to show improved form here last month but this is more competitive.
