Race preview
EZ TIGER opened his account with a cosy victory over C&D in July and, despite a 3lb rise, he looks the safest option in a weak affair. The likeliest danger appears to be top-weight Champagne Town, who has not been seen since finishing second here in May but has had wind surgery since and he may go well. Star Legend failed to fire on his handicap debut at Stratford a fortnight ago but he could be worth another chance.
