Rosie Hall is the only one of these with experience of the Fibresand but she is still a maiden after 20 starts and Spirit Of The Sea is weighted to beat her. So a chance is taken on KURIOSA acting on the track as she showed some progress when third at Chelmsford last time and gets a bit of help from the saddle with Daniel Muscutt's allowance. Fair's Fair also has a shout on her placed effort at Chelmsford while bumper winner Moonshine Ridge is bred for the Flat and the newcomer Independent Rose is related to middle-distance winners.
