Several represent powerful yards with a good strike-rate on the Fibresand. That list includes COQUETA, who makes most appeal on last month’s third over 1m3f at Kempton. Kitzbuhel should also go well having gone close over 1m2f at Newcastle but the Gosden filly Halfwaytothemoon hasn’t raced since last December when well beaten over a mile, though she has a middle-distance pedigree. The remainder have shown no worthwhile form as yet and are hard to recommend.
