Iva Reflection won over track and trip last month but it was a disappointing effort here earlier in the week while Equidae has failed to figure since winning here back in November. But PALAZZO is holding his form well and recorded his fourth success on the Fibresand when scoring over today’s trip last time. Another bold bid is expected despite a 5lb penalty while Deb's Delight has slipped down the weights and is another to consider having finished runner-up over a mile here with Custard The Dragon behind.
