BOOK OF TALES drops back down in trip after landing the odds at Bath with the minimum of fuss and can shrug off a penalty in this company. Raincloud disappointed at Leicester and cheekpieces are applied while Angel De Luz was beaten a distance when third at Brighton and Duveen looks no nearer winning. Rayena and Pfingstberg are both upped in trip for their handicap debuts.
