Verdict

TYRANA has picked up a penalty for her victory over 2m here nine days ago but she did it so easily that day, and against better horses, that a follow-up must be on the cards. Ian Williams' mare is still getting 20lb from Avanos while the longer trip may not suit Worcester second Hopeand. Middlebrook appears to have a mind of his own and Thomas Bell is very one-paced while Drummers Drumming has had plenty of chances and it says much that he was well beaten in a Newton Abbot seller on his latest start.
