ATR Verdict

TILSITT has been in a rich vein of form this season and arrives here after a victory at Ayr. The four-year-old gelding was given a 6lb rise for his latest success, but he gets the vote to defy his new mark here. Bashosh could be the danger on his handicap debut and is interesting returning to this distance, while Tarroob is one to note after a wind operation.

Top Tip: TILSITT (7)
Watch out for: BASHOSH (2)

TARROOB boasts a positive profile, twice finding only one too good in all-weather handicaps earlier this year, and, on the back of a wind op, she's fancied to be a lead player given her low-mileage profile on turf. Tilsitt is in excellent form and feared, along with Roger Varian's Bashosh.
