The imponderable is Tangerine Trees who ran up to a mark of 100 at Beverley however we'll side with the picture of consistency HAMISH MCGONAGALL. Tim Easterby's gelding won well at York in August and has since run two great races behind the ever-improving Astrophysical Jet. He has a little to find with Tax Free and Golden Destiny on those runs but is consistent and must go well. Tangerine Trees pulverised Tax Free and Angelzarke at Beverley but the run might be too good to be true and on this less holding ground it might be the classy Tax Free who reverses the form. Joe Packet may improve now ridden by Kieren Fallon, whilst elsewhere Quest For Success was well-backed when winning at Hamilton and might not be finished just yet on ground he seems to relish.
