Tiger Roll is 9lb higher than last year. Tiger Roll will be the shortest-priced winner in exctally 100 years following Poethlyn's victory at 11-4 in 1919, but 5 horses sent off 6-1 or shorter in the last 20 years were all beaten. It's therefore little wonder that 5 of the last 7 winners were priced at 66-1, 33-1 (twice) and 25-1 (twice), with One For Arthur and Tiger Roll giving punters a little bit of much-needed solace in the last 2 years. Tiger Roll carries 11st 5lbs this year, 13 of the last 19 winners carried between 10st 6lbs and 11st. | |
