4.50 TINKERS HILL TOMMY (IRE); 5.00 DUBAI ANGEL (IRE); 6.50 PSYCHEDELIC ROCK; 7.00 VALADOM (FR); 8.00 CYCLOP (IRE); 10.00 FIRST FIGARO (GER); LORD SCOUNDREL (IRE); TWOJAYSLAD; VICE ET VERTU (FR); 11.00 AND BETTER OTHERS.
TINKERS HILL TOMMY has done little wrong in two starts since joining Rebecca Curtis, building on his Chepstow second with a 17-length victory under Richard Patrick at Hereford last time. He has been raised 7lb by the handicapper for that success, but still holds leading claims. Valadom posted a brave runner-up effort over 3m2f here latest and he should go well from the front end again, while Psychedelic Rock and Dubai Angel are other in-form players to note in a competitive event.
