FIFRELET sets the standard here despite being the only penalised member of the party. Liam Harrison negates 5lb of that penalty with his valuable claim and the Diamond Boy gelding can go one better than when just going down by half a length over course and distance last time. Turpin Gold was a couple of lengths further back in third spot that day and should produce another decent showing without proving good enough to turn the form around. Annual Review is also noted after coming up with an improved effort last time when a close-up fourth at Stratford, whilst Fine By Me stands out as the most interesting newcomer on show for the Twiston-Davies team.
