MARTINIQUAISE is likely to prove a warm order in this. She finished five lengths clear of the rest when runner-up at Wolverhampton on her debut and Mark Johnston's inmates usually handle the Fibresand. Boolass ran well enough over 6f here in January while Kachou and Cocker may well get involved if taking to the surface. The newcomer Capatosta is a half-brother to a Group 3 winner among others and is worth a second glance in the betting.
