Being 7lb better off for a half-length defeat here last month, I’M TOO TIRED should be turning the tables on Lahire but did look very one-paced when only third at Musselburgh eight days ago. Mandega won on the Flat in France but has been disappointing so far for Micky Hammond and Cantalupo Bella is Flat bred and, like Night Life, still a maiden.
