A solid tempo anticipated with Tanna and Linking ahead of Kublai and Halliwell. Suspect BY THE BOOK (8) is better than what she showed last time. She had excuses there when caught wide. She is drawn better here with a senior jockey on and will be fitter second-up. Happy to maintain the faith and back her each-way. RICHED (2) is a seasoned campaigner who knows how to win. He can mix his form but he was a winner at this track two starts back and can repeat the dose. NOSTRYIA (1) is racing well and put in a huge run from the tail here last start. He will be hitting the line again. Last start winners TANNA (4) and HALLIWELL (6) have their confidence up and must be considered each-way chances again. SUGGESTED PLAY: By The Book each-way.
