Verdict
Ding Ding and Ramore Will are course specialists and Invincible Cave and Good News are track and trip winners with the latter arriving in the best form. He races off the same mark as when third at Fontwell last month while Malinas Island bids for a third victory of the campaign upped 6lb for scoring at Wetherby. TINY TANTRUM has been a little frustrating and mostly races at Fakenham nowadays but the drop back to 2m4f last time didn’t suit and he certainly has every chance on the form book in a race like this.
