NORDIC TIGER (8) is just 1lb higher than when finding success at Southwell over 2m4 1/2f last April. Mostly raced on unsuitably soft ground since. Better expected. I AM MAX (5) finished second in competitive races past two outings. Might still be leniently weighted after just four hurdle runs. BALLYFORT (11) demonstrated the benefit of wind surgery winning by 11L at Ayr tackling 2mf 15 days ago. Climbs 9lb higher with stamina to prove. Shortlist. Course and distance winner ASHINGTON (4) returned to winning ways at Doncaster recently. In the mix.
