Tatlisu was beaten a couple of lengths into fourth in this last year but went on to land the Ayr Silver Cup, beating stable companion George Bowen a head. There's nothing between them here with Ryan Moore's presence on the former possibly swinging things his way. GEORGE DRYDEN finished in front of Tatlisu when returning to action at Ripon and would probably have beaten Avon Breeze with a clear run. He won a handicap over the track and trip in September and looks capable of defying his big weight. See The Sun won a big sprint handicap here in 2014 but was winning for the first time since in slightly lower grade at Doncaster on soft ground last month. God Willing was two lengths behind him at Doncaster but should get much closer on the revised terms while nine-times winner Hoof It can never be discounted on this track.
