Freshwater Cliffs was well beaten in his first two starts over 5f but did much better when tackling this distance at Chelmsford and Ryan Moore takes over. Light The Fuse finished last on heavy ground at Nottingham last time and his best form came on good to firm in the summer. Robert Guiscard hasn't been finding much at the business end but the slower ground could aid his cause and though Red Jasper has been inconsistent he has bit and pieces of form that put him in the frame. Kitos ran well when runner-up at Ffos Las but refused to race next time so the safest option looks to be LITTLE TED, whose best run came on good to soft ground at Ripon and has been running in slightly better nurseries in faster conditions.
