Head of PR Charlie McCann:"Bukit Tinggi looked at Ascot as if he would prefer a drop back in trip from the two-and-a-half miles of the Ascot Stakes and Saturday's 2 miles looks ideal. Mamlook (9/1) trained by David Pipe finished ahead of Bukit Tinggi at the Royal meeting and looks sure to have his supporters. David's father Martin won the Northumberland Plate with Far Cry in 1999; David has already emulated his father this year by training the winner of the John Smith's Grand National. Who knows more beer money could be making its way back to Pond House this weekend."
