Sugar Coating has obvious claims in the opener having finished runner-up on the all-weather in both starts to date, But she failed to land the odds at Chelmsford on her reappearance and speculative vote goes to COLUMBIA KID. The latter has been well beaten at home in Ireland but finished a close-up third over track and trip in between and several winners have come out of the race. Of the newcomers, Fairy Falcon is a half-sister to four winners including the smart sprinter Tangerine Trees and is preferred to Snow Diamond and Boundary Lane.
