Toby Tyler's tendency to start slowly was made worse still by his rearing in the stalls here last time and he never figured behind FINAL SALUTE. The latter has won two of his last three starts but remains on a winning mark despite a 5lb rise. He gets the vote to follow-up ahead of Attrition who nearly followed up his earlier victory here when headed close home at Wolverhampton last time. Downhill Skier has proved best on the Polytrack so far, but Wolverhampton winner Mottley Crewe is worth noting on his Fibresand debut.
