SUBTEFUGE is the call with Gold Rules and Fibs And Flannel respected. Henry Cecil's charge has taken on some tough assignments in the past without success but despite being a previous course winner, this may allow us to secure a bigger price about her this afternoon. Gold Rules has been well spoken of in the past and defied a market drift to take the spoils at Kempton. He could easily improve in the manner that many of his stablemates have. Fibs And Flannel has been a credit to connections in the early months of this campaign. He won well at Hamilton Park last week and is turned out under another penalty. Invincible Soul is probably bred to appreciate a little give underfoot though seems to be at home on pretty much any surface. Duellist won well on the polytrack at Kempton though failed to follow up when returned to turf action. A good race for the timeslot and Subtefuge can continue a decent run for the Henry Cecil yard.
