The handicapper has taken no chances with Sir Roger, tailed off in his last two starts, while the four-year-old Sporting Boy has gone up 5lb since finishing second to Aviso at Warwick in February. MY SISTER had the proverbial ton in hand when scoring by 14 lengths at Plumpton last month and, providing the ground remains fast, is impossible to oppose in this as Tiger Bay has been on the sidelines for more than a year and races from 3lb out of the handicap.
