Race preview
Having scored in commanding fashion over 2m5f at Cartmel on his latest outing, this represents a good opportunity for TUPELO MISSISSIPPI to follow up that success. Brian Ellison's charge has been raised 5lb in the ratings for that victory, which the nine-year-old can take in his stride. Golfe Clair is likely to appreciate this better ground and he shaped as if this extra yardage would suit when running on well for third over 2m4f at Uttoxeter last month, while G A Henty can also have a say.
