Sorcillera scored on the Flat in Germany but a close examination of her form shows that she is much better with some give in the ground and she won't get that here. Although definitely the form pick, conditions are against her and FAIRY TRADER can take advantage. Keith Goldsworthy's filly has only run in bumpers but produced a good effort on very firm ground at Exeter a month ago and with all her allowances is taken to make a winning start over timber. Conellie was beaten a very long way on his debut over timber at Newton Abbot but Cresswell Pride has run well here in the past and should be better for a recent run at Ludlow, his first for over a year.
