Fen Tiger will be sharper for last month’s reappearance but the same comment also applies to TRIBAL COMMANDER. The latter finished in front of Ghostly when runner-up under today’s rider over 1m6f here and was winning off a higher mark over course and distance early last year. Forgetmenotblue and Balgowan have yet to win anywhere, though a leading amateur partners the latter, but King Charles placed over track and trip at the end of last year.
