Verdict
SLEEPY BLUE OCEAN ran well for third the last time he raced over track and trip in November. He had Oldjoesaid behind on that occasion and it could be his turn today. Phoenix Clubs beat Ambitious Icarus at Musselburgh in October and handles the Fibresand while M J Woodward should also figure, though has yet to win off a mark as high as today. Clubland won a claimer at Wolverhampton last time and this isn't much tougher and he can feature along with Holy Angel, who has got the better of Dickie Le Davoir and Hot Sugar on the Polytrack recently.
