The Tichborne only won a claimer here in June but this isn’t much better. Specialv was still beaten five lengths when placed at Redcar recently but Rio's Cliffs went close to landing a handicap for the first time when second at Brighton last month. EVENING ATTIRE was beaten in a higher grade at Newbury last time but won at Leicester before that. He gets another chance back at this level while Capolavoro has a shout on his earlier placed efforts at Kempton and Gold Flash is not badly treated on his best form.
