    Verdict

    This claimer may see Tinian successfully give weight away all round, with Repeat and Gold Guest others to consider. Tinian was a multiple winner in Germany earlier this year, and probably needed the run when sent to Southwell a fortnight ago. A promising fifth behind Cloud Dancer, he should step up on that and has no more to here. Repeat looks well held on that form but cannot be discounted, given his earlier winning form on the all-weather. Gold Guest, a winner over this sort of trip at Musselburgh in March, has been confined to shorter distances on the artificial surface, so is interesting, while it is hard to weigh up Lerando who makes the journey from Germany. Hiawatha has a couple of placed efforts, but all in all, Tinian holds the best claims and gets the vote.
