TUCKER'S LAW can rule the roost in this seller with Whipperway and Taper Jean Girl others to make the shortlist. Rod Millman's team have finished the last few months of the season off in decent style and while there is a small questionmark in relation to the trip, he is related to a number of middle distance winners in France so the hope is that he can scramble home. Whipperway has a bad draw though ran encouragingly in a Yarmouth seller last week and is respected on BHA ratings. Marco Botti had a large clearout at the sales last week so the remaining presence of Taper Jean Girl is certainly of interest. Lord Raglan was well held in an Ayr contest last time out and appears not to have progressed. Push Me won a bad seller at this track earlier in the season though in truth, this is little better as contests go. Golden Pippin drops into this grade for the first time while Pont D'Avignon attempts to switch the other way around having gone close in a claimer at Kempton last month. Tucker's Law is far from bombproof though he has more positives than most in this sphere.
