It’s guesswork as to how most of these will handle the Fibresand but SYNDICATE has the best form elsewhere with placed efforts at Newbury and Kempton. Ralph Beckett’s filly is preferred to Atteq, who was third over 6f at Newcastle recently, while Dal Riata went close at Newbury in between a couple of poor efforts. Stablemate Shee's Lucky was a well-beaten third at Wolverhampton on her debut. Lady Volante is one of the more exposed and debuts for new connections having shown modest form in Ireland but better is expected from My Aussie Rules today.
