Fathom Five is only a pound higher than when taking this last year and Kevin Lundie claims 7lb. Lucky Mark and Laughing Rock catch the eye near the foot of the weights while Best Tamayuz is chasing a hat-trick on Fibresand and has the inside berth, though has also collected a penalty for beating Lucky Mark four lengths last week in a race in which Meebo was unplaced. MUSICAL MOLLY had Invigilator almost three lengths behind when just touched off here last week and the pair meet on identical terms. Brian Ellison's filly has yet to finish out of the first two in four previous visits here and is almost guaranteed to run her race again so gets the nod.
