Some Nightmare may do better back in this lower grade though has done all his winning over 6f so far while Sows would appreciate any rain. Ooh Is It has won off a higher mark on the all-weather but a speculative vote goes to FIRST COMPANY. The latter was rated as high as 95 last year and will be sharper for a recent debut for David Loughnane having recently switched yards. Kyber Crystal and Symbol of Hope were both due to run in the same race here yesterday.
