In depth
Verdict
A mostly frustrating bunch but CAPE GRECO was winning over track and trip off today’s mark back in March and may prove the one to side with. Little Downs was placed yet again when third at Bath but debuts on Fibresand along with Lexi The One. Bond Angel won over a mile here early in the year and Sommer Katze scored over 6f at the track last season while Groupie has placed here in the past.
