Verdict
SALAM YA FAISAL has had just the six starts and found the Fibresand to his liking when opening his account over track and trip. He had the progressive Spring Romance, due to run in the previous race, back in third and can defy a 5lb rise. Phantasmal counted Red Bravo among his victims when scoring over 6f here but quickly reverted to his earlier poor form last time while Chloellie has done most of her winning on the all-weather at Kempton. Reely Bonnie won at Ayr during the summer but debuts on the surface.
