This looks tricky as none of the leading contenders have experience of Fibresand. Unfortunately for connections, Fantasy In Blue doesn't look like living up to her 410,000gns price tag and never threatened when third at Wolverhampton last time. The Street Cry colt, STREET ARTIST, looks a more likely type on this surface and he gets the tentative vote having finished runner-up in both starts to date. Furibondo steps up in trip after three distinctly modest efforts so far while Equalizer ran no sort of race on his comeback in soft ground at Thirsk. Celtic Legacy has been placed here but in an all-weather bumper and she's shown little on the Flat since.
