TYRSAL arrives in similar form as when winning this last year off the same mark. Cliff Lines' charge can repeat his victory with rain forecast to provide suitable underfoot conditions. We'll Shake Hands won over track and trip last month and also at Nottingham so rates the danger, despite a poor run subsequently at Doncaster. Honey Badger could figure if the blinkers have the desired effect but only East Coast Lady among the others has had a recent run.
