Verdict

TIGER BAND WAGON (6) has been very good from this barrier in two starts here since a spell, progressing off a fresh second to lead and score by 8.7m last week. Race fit and should go forward again. Can go back to back. MAJOR JELLIS (3) led from a similar draw to this to score by 3.3m two back then performed well for third from a wide barrier last week. Looks the main danger. OUR MAJOR DAY (5) came from a ¼f handicap to continue a run of top-four finishes last time. Go well again. ALTA EQUUS (1) deserves respect after coming from this barrier for second to Tiger Band Wagon last week.
