RED PRIMO has won all three starts on the Fibresand and has scope for further progress back on this surface. He gets a token vote in something of a lottery. Pretty Bubbles won over course and distance in August and is still improving on the evidence of her recent win at Kempton where she beat Dr Red Eye. Ishikawa can figure if handling the track and Kung Hei Fat Choy is back on a winning mark. Westminster has slipped down the weights but course winners Toto Skyllachy and Starfield are up in class along with plating-class winner My Son Max.
