Sky Calling's participation must be in doubt following his run over fences at Newton Abbot yesterday. Twentynineblack was well beaten in a seller at Hexham earlier this month and Tinseltown remains a maiden over hurdles and on the Flat. It's four years Apache Dawn visited the winner's enclosure while Alfloramoor is probably still a shade high in the weights. SACCO D'ORO won over C&D in January and than ran a couple of nice races on the all-weather. Back over timber, she was a decent fourth at Market Rasen in March and could be the one to beat today if a short break has freshened her up.
