The Tichborne should be sharper for a recent return to action and beat GREAT FUN over 7f here in June. But the latter has been keeping better company since and, re-opposing on better terms today, can take his revenge. Beautiful Stranger could only manage fourth the last time he competed at this level but Ubla won a handicap at Kempton in August and drops in class. Rocket Ronnie has a chance at the weights and this is easier than his recent task in plating company.
