Race comment
OVERVIEW: Look, truth be told there’s a bit to unpack in tonight’s opening contest. Firstly, there’s frenetic early speed off the front line – but who will press the button is a mystery at best. Secondly, TUPPENCE (2) turning up tonight without a public trial makes our task a tougher one than we would really like. If he’s truly prepared for this fresh assignment then TUPPENCE (2) has the speed to simply lead these all the way. That being said, CANT TOP THIS (3) is the most appropriate horse to whom he’ll hand up if he does. If CANT TOP THIS (3) does secure the front, this race belongs to him, and even if he doesn’t he can triumph from the chair. For those reasons CANT TOP THIS (3) narrowly gets the nod ahead of TUPPENCE (2) here tonight; so long as markets don’t suggest the latter horse is totally ready to roll. Smaller chances also go to KISSMELVIS (10) who was well below his best last start but has been flying prior to that, and also HURRICANE HALL (8) whose going much better than his figure form would suggest and who will relish peg-line service from his cosy gate. EARLY SPEED: 2 (Potential Leader) + 5?,7? + 3 (Possible Leader),4? RATINGS: 3/ 2/ 10/ 8/ 1/ 4/ 6/ 7/ 9/ 5

Race comment
OVERVIEW: Look, truth be told there’s a bit to unpack in tonight’s opening contest. Firstly, there’s frenetic early speed off the front line – but who will press the button is a mystery at best. Secondly, TUPPENCE (2) turning up tonight without a public trial makes our task a tougher one than we would really like. If he’s truly prepared for this fresh assignment then TUPPENCE (2) has the speed to simply lead these all the way. That being said, CANT TOP THIS (3) is the most appropriate horse to whom he’ll hand up if he does. If CANT TOP THIS (3) does secure the front, this race belongs to him, and even if he doesn’t he can triumph from the chair. For those reasons CANT TOP THIS (3) narrowly gets the nod ahead of TUPPENCE (2) here tonight; so long as markets don’t suggest the latter horse is totally ready to roll. Smaller chances also go to KISSMELVIS (10) who was well below his best last start but has been flying prior to that, and also HURRICANE HALL (8) whose going much better than his figure form would suggest and who will relish peg-line service from his cosy gate. EARLY SPEED: 2 (Potential Leader) + 5?,7? + 3 (Possible Leader),4? RATINGS: 3/ 2/ 10/ 8/ 1/ 4/ 6/ 7/ 9/ 5

Race comment
OVERVIEW: Look, truth be told there’s a bit to unpack in tonight’s opening contest. Firstly, there’s frenetic early speed off the front line – but who will press the button is a mystery at best. Secondly, TUPPENCE (2) turning up tonight without a public trial makes our task a tougher one than we would really like. If he’s truly prepared for this fresh assignment then TUPPENCE (2) has the speed to simply lead these all the way. That being said, CANT TOP THIS (3) is the most appropriate horse to whom he’ll hand up if he does. If CANT TOP THIS (3) does secure the front, this race belongs to him, and even if he doesn’t he can triumph from the chair. For those reasons CANT TOP THIS (3) narrowly gets the nod ahead of TUPPENCE (2) here tonight; so long as markets don’t suggest the latter horse is totally ready to roll. Smaller chances also go to KISSMELVIS (10) who was well below his best last start but has been flying prior to that, and also HURRICANE HALL (8) whose going much better than his figure form would suggest and who will relish peg-line service from his cosy gate. EARLY SPEED: 2 (Potential Leader) + 5?,7? + 3 (Possible Leader),4? RATINGS: 3/ 2/ 10/ 8/ 1/ 4/ 6/ 7/ 9/ 5

For those reasons CANT TOP THIS (3) narrowly gets the nod ahead of TUPPENCE (2) here tonight; so long as markets don’t suggest the latter horse is totally ready to roll. Smaller chances also go to KISSMELVIS (10) who was well below his best last start but has been flying prior to that, and also HURRICANE HALL (8) whose going much better than his figure form would suggest and who will relish peg-line service from his cosy gate.

Race comment
OVERVIEW: Look, truth be told there’s a bit to unpack in tonight’s opening contest. Firstly, there’s frenetic early speed off the front line – but who will press the button is a mystery at best. Secondly, TUPPENCE (2) turning up tonight without a public trial makes our task a tougher one than we would really like. If he’s truly prepared for this fresh assignment then TUPPENCE (2) has the speed to simply lead these all the way. That being said, CANT TOP THIS (3) is the most appropriate horse to whom he’ll hand up if he does. If CANT TOP THIS (3) does secure the front, this race belongs to him, and even if he doesn’t he can triumph from the chair. For those reasons CANT TOP THIS (3) narrowly gets the nod ahead of TUPPENCE (2) here tonight; so long as markets don’t suggest the latter horse is totally ready to roll. Smaller chances also go to KISSMELVIS (10) who was well below his best last start but has been flying prior to that, and also HURRICANE HALL (8) whose going much better than his figure form would suggest and who will relish peg-line service from his cosy gate. EARLY SPEED: 2 (Potential Leader) + 5?,7? + 3 (Possible Leader),4? RATINGS: 3/ 2/ 10/ 8/ 1/ 4/ 6/ 7/ 9/ 5
