Abbaleka and The Grey Bay have both been well beaten here but the remainder debut on Fibresand. Crime Of Passion and Lili Wen Fach both won on Turf earlier in the year and Lilkian has been thereabouts on the all-weather recently but one of the handicap newcomers may prove best with a chance taken on ASTROZONE. The latter ran well for third behind a subsequent Listed runner-up at Beverley last time while Lady Nectar drops back down class after struggling at York. Catechism was placed over today’s trip at Chelmsford earlier but failed to show any improvement at Kempton last time.
