High Kicker arrives from Ireland on the back of a good effort at Dundalk. He’s yet to race on this surface but stays the trip while General Allenby won over 2m at Catterick in October but was well beaten under today’s amateur at Leicester last time. SHINE BABY SHINE has had a recent spin over hurdles and beat Tynecastle Park by a huge distance over course and distance back in August - she gets the vote back on the Fibresand for the first time since. Thackeray was placed under Becky Smith over 1m6f here earlier and could also go well.
