Tan ended the Turf season in decent form but was well beaten on his only previous try on Tapeta. It's All A Joke overcame trouble in-running to win at Chelmsford but Lord Of The Glen is another three-year-old to consider on his best form and Three Little Birds is already a course and distance winner. Hollander, Come On Dave and Midnightly have also been successful over track and trip while Bossipop was just beaten at Nottingham 10 days ago, though is on a long losing run. We’ll take a chance on SUWAAN, who has slipped to a fair mark. Ruth Carr’s sprinter has a very solid record on this surface and looks to have a decent draw.
