Verdict
Until It Sleeps ran a shocker at this track in May but Lincolnrose and Stripped Bear filled the places over 5f here last time when finding the David Barron-trained La Sylphe too good. Barron runs HITHERTO in this and though the Bertolini gelding hasn't looked like winning on Turf so far, his trainer's outstanding strike rate with two-year-olds at this track suggest he can make his handicap and Fibresand debut a winning one. Relight My Fire has a fourth at Redcar to his credit which looks better form than anything Tussie Mussie or Kendal Princess have shown so far.
