Tyrsal has the form in the book and beat SPREADABLE by a short-head over course and distance last week. But he will surely struggle to confirm those placings under a penalty and, with Jordan Vaughan good value for his 7lb claim, Nick Littmoden's colt can take his revenge and get off the mark today. Twenty Roses and Lord Lexington have to be of interest making their handicap debuts but Jaeger Connoisseur and Trinity Lorraine need to bounce back from below-par efforts and Countess Lupus is only a plater.
