Race preview
TOM TAGGLE was already out of contention when coming to grief on his Chepstow reappearance, but that will have blown away any cobwebs. He will appreciate the step up from an extended 2m3f, having struck over just shy of this trip at the Welsh venue back in the spring, and he has scope for further improvement. Getuptheyard showed a bit more when switched back to timber at Lingfield, although recent Kempton third Avada Kedavra might be the primary threat. Something Simple is worth a look on his handicap debut.
