Red Derek was beaten more than three lengths by Love Explodes at Doncaster but is 7lb better off and there are going concerns surrounding the winner. Zlatan has been edging closer since returning to action and Al Daiha was only beaten half-a-length when making his Turf debut at Bath. Potenza didn’t enjoy the Fibresand in March and has claims on last year’s form but that is also the case with SANDS CHORUS and he looked no back number at Pontefract having a first run for Karen Tutty.
