Only Ten Per Cent has done all his winning over shorter trips on the Fibresand at Southwell. Saying that, he went very close over 7f at this track on his latest start and is not easily dismissed. Muhandis is another in fine form over 7f and he has leading claims while Perfect Mission, Titan Triumph and The Happy Hammer are not out of this on their best form. There's a suggestion that STORM RUNNER may be a shade high in the weights now having landed a C&D double in December but his latest defeat came in much better company and he gets another chance in this.
