Race preview
Despite just four runners lining up here, this race still appears to be a difficult puzzle to solve with a tentative vote going the way of the Irish raider MIGHTY TOM. Cian Collins' charge was a modest second behind the classy Letsbeclearaboutit in a Grade 3 contest over 2m4f at Cork last time and should go well. Colin Tizzard saddled Eldorado Allen to victory in this contest in 2020 and Joe Tizzard has solid claims of repeating the feat with JPR One after his comfortable win at Newton Abbot, while Homme Public and Petit Tonnerre can follow them home.
