Most of these would have been more at home in a seller but Hail Tiberius left previous form behind when scoring at Chepstow on Tuesday and has every chance of following up under a penalty.

Wom is 4lb higher than when second over course and distance last month but did finish ahead of Royal Trooper. Inside Knowledge won here in June but is still 4lb higher.
