The Daley Express popped up at Wolverhampton recently with Ooh Is It behind though had earlier found MISTER BLUEBIRD too good at Ffos Las. The latter returns to the all-weather with a shout on that form. True Hero usually runs his race at this level and Airshow completed a double at Bath in August but Moonraker was at his best on the old Fibresand surface here and has yet to score on Tapeta. Fine Wine won at Newcastle last month and Tributo landed a maiden over a longer trip at Wolverhampton and they look best of the rest.
