Icanmotor was just caught by Hija at Taunton but the pair meet on the same terms here and the former has now failed to win in 29 attempts. Amron Kali bolted up at Fakenham and is only 7lb higher, though is now on a career-high mark. Pearlita is improving but will need more if she’s to follow up her recent success at Stratford. THEATRE ROUGE was probably a lucky winner at Newton Abbot last month but a further step up in distance should help offset her lack of pace so she gets a tentative vote.
