Tinto
C&D winner; best known for exploits at Thirsk more recently, including a close second there last May (5f, good); cheekpieces off for his reappearance and not a solid option, for all he has dropped to a good mark.

From the connections
“Tinto is a grand horse, he just doesn't want the ground too firm. I said to Connor [Beasley, jockey] to just let him find his feet. He'd been running with cheekpieces and I just thought we'd change it this year and wouldn't put them on him and it made no difference there. He wouldn't want to be coming through horses, he likes a bit of his own space, but he showed a good attitude and he's done it nicely. He gives his owners a lot of fun - Michael Dods, trainer.”
“That was a good performance off TINTO'S highest ever mark. He came good last backend and has carried on that back on turf. Maybe we'll let him take his chance in the Wokingham. Mark Perrett, assistant trainer.”
“Tinto took the scenic route a bit but he got there. He keeps getting knocked over and he's only a little horse so the instructions were to give him a bit of room. It's great that he got his head in front. He may just have been feeling the ground early on but he's a lovely honest horse - Amanda Perrett, trainer.”
“Tinto is growing up for racing. He has improved each time he has run and there's no reason why he shouldn't go on again from this win - Mark Perrett, assistant trainer.”
