Race preview
Cases can be made for a few but preference is for TOMMY TAYLOR, who has been in excellent form since the turn of the year racking up four wins on the bounce at this venue. The son of Mizzen Mast does have to carry a 4lb penalty for his C&D success last week, but that might not be enough to stop him. Old News was not beaten far when finishing fourth at Southwell last month and he could be the danger returning to this shorter trip, while Millionaire Waltz and Mawkeb complete the shortlist.
