Verdict

A competitive-looking handicap in which several appear to have solid claims. Tigers Tale may be in the handicapper's grip now and will do well to extend his winning run but Zaeem didn't do a lot wrong at Newmarket last month and is only a couple of pounds higher while we may not have yet seen the best of Basseterre, who was given plenty to do when third at Ayr in June. Windsor winner Border Legend still has some scope, as does Magma though she's yet to sparkle on Turf. Knave Of Clubs' two wins have come on soft going, however, while Henry Allingham would also prefer more give in the ground than he'll get here. SHENA'S DREAM steps up a grade but she won with a bit in hand when making all at Yarmouth on her latest start and is still learning her trade. She can score again.
