A run on the flat, one over hurdles, and a recent chase run haven't seen Special Tiara rediscover his best form, but he has had plausible excuses for all three runs and I think this Grade 2 is well within his compass should he be able to put it all together today. It seems Andrew Lynch has chosen to ride Days Hotel, but I wouldn't read too much into that and although I'm not a big fan of Brian Hayes, a change in jockey can sometimes help a horse and the selection might just benefit from a different pair of hands today. At his best, this is a Grade 1 two miler, but he seems to have been difficult to train. De Bromhead's stable are in fine form, though, and he is a trainer I greatly respect in terms of his ability to get difficult horses right. Special Tiara scoped badly after his last race, but he jumped really well before that and there was definite promise to be taken from the run. A reproduction of his Sandown form behind Sire De Grugy would see him go close here and there's no reason why he shouldn't improve for his last run in terms of fitness. Running two in the one race is unusual for this trainer, and I find it interesting he has chosen to declare both Days Hotel and the selection. Anything 7/1+ is fair.
