Split Down South won over 6f at Chelmsford recently and debuts on the surface along with Kempton third Silverturnstogold. Both can figure if taking to the Fibresand but ELYSEE STAR was beaten only a length over track and trip on her debut at the track when finishing well ahead of Abie’s Hollow and Mark Walford’s filly may finally open her account in this. Tagur has previous here and has tumbled down the weights while Sooqaan was winning off a higher mark over track and trip early in the year and is preferred to Reshaan.
