Moving Light drops down in trip on his belated reappearance and the other Godolphin runner, Neptune Seas, is upped in distance. It was soft ground when Kattani scored at Nottingham with Bad Company back in fifth but FIREWORKS (NAP) gets another chance. Not beaten far when fourth over 1m1f here on last month’s handicap debut, the Haggas charge is fitted with cheekpieces today with further improvement likely. Soto Sizzler drops down in class while Sarvan gets a change of headgear and Frankie’s presence takes the eye.
