Lord Buffhead won at Catterick last time but was well beaten in earlier outings at this track. Sarah Berry finished closer over 6f last time but has yet to race on Fibresand while Exkaliber is also having his first experience of the surface. Angel Grigio will need to step up on her previous efforts at this venue but CODE SIX made the frame over track and trip last season and Bryan Smart's filly gets a speculative vote to leave her recent poor form behind and come good in this.
