Things didn't pan out for TIPTOEAWAY (NAP) last season but he's a previous course and distance winner who has run well fresh in the past and the handicapper has given a real chance today if he's ready. He may represent more value than Tresor De Bontee, though the latter has only been raised 3lb for his comeback win at Lingfield. Dunowen Point is also well treated but tends to flatter to deceive while Quicuyo and Vasco D'Ycy have a bit to prove at present. Back To Bracka was well beaten on his chasing bow at Carlisle earlier this month and may need more time.
