SONG OF JOY has shown steady improvement and wasn't beaten that far when fifth at Kempton on her return to action last month. She finished ahead of Umph, who has since beaten Parque Atlantico, so a good run from the latter in the previous race would boost confidence. Percythepinto's win came in a seller on the Fibresand though he's been well beaten subsequently, while Hugenot has claims on January's fourth at Dundalk. Sudden Wish won over 7f at Lingfield in the same month and she should figure again given she went close again over today's trip last time.
