Recent form suggests that TBM Can has still got the measure of today's rivals and the gelding is taken to get back to winning ways at the main expense of Cork Harbour and Toni Alcala. The Mark Brisbourne-trained selection is creeping up the weights after his recent exploits but his rider's claim will go some way to off-setting the burden. However, he is still open to improvement and may have too much toe for the rest at the finish. In contrast, Herne Bay has looked a little bit short in that department and looks to be one to be wary of for the time being.
