SUPERFECTION gained a shock victory in very testing conditions at Market Rasen last month and didn't run badly in a better race at Newcastle a couple of weeks later. Race fitness looks the key here as though he has to concede 7lb to Monbeg Dolly the latter hasn't run since finishing runner-up at Towcester almost a year ago. Fairlee Grace has been well beaten in all starts while Theatre Act has been weakening over the minimum trip, though in slightly better company.
