NEMEAN LION was a winner on a softer surface for Andre Fabre and though well held on a first start for Kerry Lee, he is sure to have stripped fitter for that outing. Light Em Up Nigel sets the standard from a ratings perspective as he bids for a first success. Astromachia had plenty of scope on the Flat though it will be a monumental training performance if Richard Newland can get him ready after 1070 days away. Get Sky High is in receipt of the Mares allowance and Dan Skelton’s runner had a wind surgery since we last saw her on a racecourse.
