Labroc has shown nothing so far, including when tried in handicap company at Redcar earlier this month, and looks too close in the weights to SHORT SUPPLY. Tim Walford's five-year-old has won two of his six starts on Fibresand and is only a couple of pounds higher than when scoring over C&D in January. First-time blinkers could inspire him enough to recapture the winning thread. Revolutionary also sports headgear for the first time and has finished second in both previous starts at the track. Recent efforts have been a little disappointing however. Ultimate Best has been placed in a couple of starts over shorter on Polytrack and looks the pick of the remainder if she handles the different surface and step up in distance.
