Favorite Girl produced a better effort at Lingfield last time and has claims if taking to the Fibresand, but MISTER FROSTY makes more appeal. He's penalised for last week's win over C&D when Dunaskin was well beaten, but has gone close again since with a fourth on the Polytrack last Saturday and Darren Egan's claim could give him the edge here. Thackeray and Ivan The Terrible are unknowns on today's surface but open to improvement, while Kingaroo is back on a winning mark if rediscovering his best, but Spartan King remains winless.
