Fleurtille recorded a double over track and trip in October but there was plenty of cut in the ground and she was well beaten on her recent reappearance over 7f. Thatcherite never figured on his return either but ended last year with wins over 5f on fast going so has to come into the reckoning. TYFOS is looking to end a long losing run but has tumbled down the weights as a consequence. He can race off a 5lb lower mark on this surface after going close at Wolverhampton last time and gets the nod. Windforpower and Lady Poppy are others with claims.
