Forecasts

Sizing Tennessee (2/1), Duel At Dawn (9/4), Tintern Theatre (5/2), Coastal Tiep (11/2)

Verdict

SIZING TENNESSEE clearly comes with risks attached having fell on his last two starts but two of his rivals have to concede weight to him here and if he can stay upright, he's likely to take some beating. Duel At Dawn looks the main danger and he seemingly doesn't know how to run a bad race while Coastal Tiep has plenty of potential but may want better ground than what he's likely to get here.
