LMNTRIX was runner-up over track and trip in November on his Fibresand debut. He finished ahead of Prisom and is taken to go one better today. Capital Gearing finished a couple of lengths in front of Ershaad when third over a mile here last time and can figure while Basingstoke won over track and trip early last year and is only 2lb higher. De Lesseps has won here before but looks high enough in the weights though Samphire Coast may finish closer now handicapping for the first time.
