We said6th of 11, beaten 10¼ at 16/1
TALL TREES 16/1
TALL TREES at 16/1, Brian Meehan and Tom Marquand, looks the one to be on. He won last time out and comes from a yard in good heart at 31%.
MUSICAL TIMES rates higher on our figures but is passed over — won its last two, and there is no comparable mark in this code to judge the rise.
The dangers are EABHA at 12/1 and SCOMMESSA SICURA at 13/2 (from a yard in form).
