CAPE VALE was successful over 6f here on Saturday, his first start on Fibresand. Dandy Nicholls' charge made all on that occasion and looks capable of defying a 6lb penalty and going in again despite the drop back in distance. Love Delta finished behind him on Saturday and looks unlikely to reverse the form, but Lenny Bee could go close if taking to the Fibresand. Bonnie Prince Blue is holding his form and won over 6f here last month. He makes most appeal of the remainder.
