CARNAC is unpenalised for winning an apprentice race over C&D last Thursday and can confirm superiority with fourth-placed Silent Lucidity on better terms. He looks capable of following up getting plenty of weight from William's Way, who won his fourth race under today's amateur at Lingfield in November but is equally at home on this surface. Juwireya won over C&D in December and can figure despite a couple of poor efforts on the Polytrack since and Charlotte Holmes gets on well with Valantino Oyster, who makes his Fibresand debut here.
