Homing Star has gradually improved though it was heavy going when she won at Ffos Las and she's 4lb higher. Tigerfish has finished runner-up the last twice but hasn't won for a long time and has gone up in the weights. Tilsworth Lukey has only won on Polytrack and though Sexy Secret has won around here he's looked a bit high in the weights since completing a double in the summer. Royal Hall has won his last two over hurdles and is weighted well enough to win this though he finds the trip on the short side and was beaten in a seller at Brighton in August. Lily Ash has been in good form though has never been anywhere near this trip. Ember's Glow has changed stables and produced two good runs for new connections but in a competitive low-grade contest the vote goes to TYRSAL, who has had his last six runs around here, rarely runs a bad race on the track, and has dropped to his lowest ever mark on his 77th start.
