Toolain ran well over a mile behind Sagramor here in May but hasn't raced since finishing well beaten at Sandown in July and hasn't progressed as expected this year. He's well treated by race conditions today but is taken on with FIREBEAM. A winner over 6f on soft ground at Lingfield in June, he followed up over this trip at York the following month before finishing an excellent third at Ascot last month when trying to give weight to a couple of decent handicappers. Italian import Fugnina may need time to acclimatise but Al Aasifh kept much better company last year and has been placed in both starts this term. Field Of Dream looks best of the older horses but is basically disappointing.
