This looks trappy to say the least and punters will be hoping at least 16 go to post. Amy Ryan is a good booking for TINSELTOWN though and the Sadlers Well's gelding can get back on the winning track after disappointing badly at Yarmouth six days ago when an odds-on shot. That reversal was almost certainly down to not seeing out the trip and it's no surprise to see him drop down markedly in distance here. The unexposed Landesherr, a German import for Steve Gollings, should give Lucy Alexander a good spin after a career-best effort last time at Yarmouth behind Tis Rock 'N' Roll over this trip. Flag Of Glory is best from the front and is one of many with fair claims, including C&D winner, Tribal Myth, the consistent Shy and Politbureau who has gone well for Serena Brotherton previously.
