TALLEST PEAK is worth another chance and is preferred to the consistent pair Party In The Park and Join Up. Mick Quinlan's runner responded to the fitting of blinkers to run out a ready winner over seven furlongs at this track but he enjoyed no luck in running over the same course and distance last time. He needs a little luck in running but is better drawn this time and may get it. Party In The Park added another second to his name at Lingfield on Saturday and continues in fine form but his losing run now extends to nineteen starts. Join Up is effective over a variety of trips but he isn't the easiest to win with; that said, he nearly always gives his running and should have a say in the finish. Kirstys Lad posted a fair effort last time and is another that could be involved in a scrap for the places but the top spot can go to Tallest Peak.
