Rita's Boy has won twice over track and trip but has been climbing the weights this year without really threatening to get his head back in front. Only a neck separated Moon River and Come Uppence here last month and there looks to be nothing between them on today's slightly revised terms but Amber Crystal and Crosse Fire are both making their reappearance and might struggle against race-fit rivals. YOU'RE COOL has won at Wolverhampton and Kempton this year and looks a progressive sprinter. He drops back down to the minimum here but has plenty of pace and it could be worth chancing that he handles the Fibresand.
