Verdict
Eyes Of A Tiger is two from two over fences and remains on an exploitable mark, although the form of those victories doesn’t look particularly impressive. Valseur Du Granval ran well in a better event than this at Uttoxeter back in May but probably needs a little help from the handicapper, so preference is for TANGOLAN. He won over course and distance earlier this month on his return to fences and the manner of his success suggests that there is more to come. The Jazz Singer looks badly-handicapped after his chase debut victory at Down Royal, Swantykay may struggle to follow up her victory in May off a new mark, and Indian Voyage needs it softer underfoot.
