Tandori has been placed in two of his last three starts but Jimmy Frost's mare has been well held in those outings and a safer option looks to be KILCANNON SUPREME, who gets the verdict ahead of Tootsie Too. Mike Hammond's mare ran much better in a handicap at Towcester last week when finding just Graze On And On too good and a 1lb rise for that is perfectly fair so she has to be respected. Willies Way could probably do with some more help from the handicapper, while Ariodante is lightly raced over hurdles but does need to improve on previous form over timber to take a hand in the finish. Martin Keighley's Hareem showed signs of a return to form here last time and is worthy of a mention but it is Kilcannon Supreme that looks the one they have to beat. Like a lot of Peter Bowen's runners, the seven-year-old has run better of late and the gelding has every chance if able to build on an improved effort at Wetherby last month.
