A race which should boil down to a match between Tissifer and Mamore Gap. The former is by far best in at the weights according to the BHB handicapper and won a similar heat on his final start last backend having previously finished a close second behind Indian Creek at Ascot. Not disgraced on his recent comeback, Martin Pipe's charge should take advantage of rhis drop in grade. Mamore Gap has 19lb to find with the selection but has the services of a useful claimer and has held his form well of late in handicaps to suggest that he will prove no pushover.
