TIGERWOLF is the most exposed but went close in a decent handicap at Goodwood last time and the Channon colt should be winning this with a handicap rating of 86. Sir Compton could prove next best on his recent fifth at Kempton given Land Of Dubai failed to show any progress over track and trip last time. Kylea makes her reappearance but drops in class and may finish closer. Both Malaika and Mornington also make a belated return to action and the latter’s stablemate Port Isaac makes his racecourse debut.
