Tiny Tim was an unlucky loser last time and compensation could await here, with Cleveland Way and Pagan Storm the pair we fear the most. The selection has been knocking on the door of late and was a good second behind Abou Star over 6f at Southwell last time. The extra furlong here will not inconvenience him and he looks to have an outstanding chance. Cleveland Way finished behind our selection in that race at Southwell but he is proving to inconsistent and he rarely runs two races alike. Pagan Storm ran well over course and distance last time behind Vlasta Weiner, but he had previously finished behind Cleveland Way which would leave him with something to find with our selection. Dundonald could be the best of the rest but he is probably better over further and for the winner we return to Tiny Tim.
