A number of these will be plying their trade on the all weather this winter and the likes of Sundried Tomatoe, Cheese 'N Biscuits and Terraquin could all be paying their way shortly. However, marginal preference is for Poule De Luxe today, as she returns to the turf just in time to exploit her lowly mark of 69 while the ground is in his favour. Fearby Cross is an obvious danger also and has to be given serious consideration in a race that lacks strength in depth. Willie Musson's has dropped to a mark 4lb lower than for his last success and has every chance of exploiting his mark in this company. However, Poule De Luxe is open to acres more improvement that the majority of the field and John Dunlop appears to have found an ideal opening for the daughter of Cadeaux Genereaux while conditions are in her favour.
