The progressive Salt Whistle Bay made a winning return in soft ground here, beating Majestic Moon in the process. However, he’ll likely find today’s going fast enough but Fashaak has a chance off his current mark, though has been off the track since September. BINT DANDY (NAP) is rated 4lb lower on Turf and, coupled with an apprentice’s 3lb allowance, Chris Dwyer’s charge looks to have leading claims given her only previous win on this surface came over course and distance at this time last year. Ourmullion has done all his winning on the all-weather so far while Gibeno makes his handicap debut.
