CHECKINFORSQUIRELS, a half-sister to two winning jumpers, is not highly tried on her racecourse debut and William Marshall’s claim is a plus on the forecast going. Fleursals finished just ahead of Cuban Sun in a Doncaster Lister race last time but both were well beaten and it would be no surprise if the placings were reversed here. The latter had finish ahead of Kalaya when runner-up on Town Moor on debut.
