Verdict

I'll Be Good gave the impression he would come on for his recent pipe-opener over 5f here and Half A Billion looked as though he'd improved when landing maiden in good style over C&D on his recent Fibresand debut. Reve Du Jour recorded her second win over track and trip when beating the re-opposing Man Of My Word here a fortnight ago and looks certain to be in the firing-line once again, but ABI SCARLET is just preferred. She contributed to Hughie Morrison's terrific strike rate at this track in 2012 when landing a maiden over C&D in January and can return to winning ways back on this surface after a couple of outings on the Polytrack.
