Tilly Devine has been racing over further lately so will want to make this a true test and that will suit standing dish General Tufto. Queen Moon had form over course and distance last year so can’t be ruled out, though is now 0-10. Any market interest in Street Sensation would have to be taken seriously and Check 'em Tuesday was well backed on his first run for Ivan Furtado at Kempton, though failed to fire again. Royal Holiday seems to have lost the plot so a tentative vote goes to URBAN SPIRIT in the hope that a switch to Fibresand won’t interrupt recent improvement.
