Tom Tulliver went close over track and trip last time but is still penalised for an earlier success over the minimum trip here. Requinto Dawn ended a long losing run when beating course specialist CROSSE FIRE (NAP) over course and distance but the latter re-opposes on better terms having subsequently placed again in a higher grade than this and may well get his head back in front this time. Puchita and Moveonup finished behind the selection while Capla Spirit is back on a winning mark but has proved best over 5f so far.
