Recent form under Rules is thin on the ground in this but plenty have been winning between the flags. Official ratings suggest TINKERS HILL TOMMY will come out best and connections will be hoping he can go one better than last year. He was also second over course and distance last month and heavy going was a legitimate excuse when he was an odds-on failure at Exeter earlier this month. Robin Des People, Captain Camelot, Theboss On Thehill and the mare Ann Scott all arrive in form and Tomoroz Man is only six so may be open to improvement. Charlie Breekie, Kilcrea Bridge and Essteepee may be best of the rest.
