Irish raider and course and distance winner Earl Of Bunnacurry was bidding for a hat-trick here last time but ran no sort of race behind third-placed MR COCO BEAN. The latter won here at this time last year and looks set for a return to winning ways off his current mark with first-time cheekpieces likely to bring improvement. Roman De Brut is back on a winning mark but races on Fibresand for the first time while Admiral Rooke has yet to win but debuts for a new yard and is having only his second start on the all-weather. Helen Sherbet won a higher grade contest over 7f here at the start of the year and Love Rat has placed form at the track.
