Wiki Tiki easily beat Argent Touch on the Fibresand at Southwell last time and had earlier beaten Biscuiteer, Countess Lupus and Limegrove when third at Kempton. Stuart Williams' charge looks a leading contender in this. Chuckmental finished just ahead Mahon Falls when runner-up in a maiden over track and trip last month and the latter has since found SAFFIRE SONG a couple of lengths too good. Alan Bailey's filly has every chance on that line of form so gets the nod from what looks a favourable draw.
