Face Like Thunder finished ahead of Sooqaan when placed in one of these events here last month but ran poorly back at the track a couple of days ago. SEA OF COOL was disqualified for weighing-in 4lb light last time having finished a close-up second in a handicap over course and distance. He should be in the mix once again in this lower grade and gets the vote. Bescaby gets a change of headgear and is worth a second glance debuting on the Fibresand and Jeans Maite may do better over this longer distance.
