SIBERIAN SUN, taken out of his intended engagement on Thursday evening, is re-routed here presumably in search of better ground. The 35,000euros son of Beneficial represents connections that frequently do well in this sphere and is taken to make a winning debut. The Ferick, a beaten favourite on his first two runs, hasn't been seen since a modest Sedgefield effort last December. His yard have a top-class record in these events, although runner numbers seem to have dwindled in the past year or so. Don't Mistake Me shaped well enough on his bumper bow behind Killala Quay at Uttoxeter recently and should come on for the experience.
