Nightfiori was well beaten here last time and the rest debut on the Fibresand. Of those, CARROTHERS looks to have the strongest form judged on a debut third at Newcastle given the winner has subsequently gone in again and David Simcock’s colt may prove good enough if acting on the surface. Action Hero failed to show any progress at Kempton last time and Bradley Hall steps up from 6f while the newcomer Pips Tune is related to four winners.
