Fravanco popped-up on the all-weather on his handicap debut and steps up in trip with Royal Athena who won over 1m4f on the Polytrack last month. It's How We Roll scored over track and trip in June but today’s ground is a worry though Greased Lightning finished runner-up on soft going here in May. SOLUTION has yet to encounter testing conditions but went close at Ffos Las on his handicap bow and can come out best if proving suited to soft going.
