Spanish History was due to run yesterday at Ffos Las and, like Ourmullion and Sunshineandbubbles, is probably better on the all-weather. LUNA MAGIC was only beaten a head of this mark at Yarmouth eight days ago and her stable has a good strike-rate here – she is more than capable of going close in a race like this. Take A Turn is looking a few pounds too high but should run his race again and makes more appeal than stablemate Retribution, who is having a first run in exactly a year. Medici Moon is better over a mile while Ski Blast has been slow to come to hand this year.
