FLYING PICKETS separated poor runs at Wolverhampton with a couple of victories over 7f at this track. Alan McCabe's charge gets the nod back on the Fibresand as he beat Adranian last time and a line through that rival gives him the beating of Whisky Bravo. The latter has won twice here this month and another bold bid is expected from him, while Sunny Side Up makes her Fibresand debut after scoring at Wolverhampton last time with subsequent winner M J Woodward behind. Faraway is another recent Polytrack winner having his first start on this surface.
