Musical Tribute is up in distance for her reappearance while Sceptic has been gelded since debuting at Newmarket back in October. SHARP POWER has the more recent form having placed over 6f in both outings so far and the half-brother to a Group 3 winner over today’s longer trip can open his account with William Buick taking over the reins. The newcomer Sugar Hill is already gelded and worth noting for a yard in good form.
