SIRDAVE was well beaten on his Fibresand debut on his return from a six-month absence. He did much better at Lingfield last time when third to Kahfre, with today's rival Harrys five lengths behind, and Peter Hiatt's charge should be able to get off the mark in this company. Astrodiva went close at Kempton in December but has run poorly since and was well beaten on her only start here, while Antoella finished just in front of Davana over a longer trip here last month but neither looked like winning and Philip Kirby's filly was due to contest a juvenile hurdle at Musselburgh on Wednesday.
