An interesting classified race to open proceedings with Fiamma Royale getting the TEAMtalk nod to follow up his recent course and distance success. In that race he had Geronimo, Sabana and Dil in arrears and none of these face him again on better terms. Random Task looks well weighted on his form earlier in the year but his recent efforts don't suggest he is up to this. Charge was showing some sort of return to form last time out at Southwell but he has yet to prove he is happy on this particular surface. Teehee is an interesting runner stepping back in trip. If he can reproduce some of his recent efforts at this track he could go close. Arc El Ciel has run well on his last two appearances at this track and has to be respected.
