Placed once in four runs on turf, MORERMALOKE went close on his Polytrack debut over 6f at Kempton earlier his month. He'll appreciate this drop to 5f and Brian Meehan's charge looks to have his best opportunity so far of opening his account. Pineapple Pete has finished runner-up on his last two starts over C&D but has plenty to find with the selection on these terms and so does Fairy Tales, who looks thoroughly exposed after 11 runs without a win. Newcomer Stoneacre Joe Joe is related to winners on the all-weather and is worth noting in the betting.
