It's rare that a David Pipe runner arrives at the track looking in need of the run but Surfboard will definitely have benefited from an outing here four weeks ago. Stablemate Very Cool is still preferred, however, despite returning from a lay-off. Folie A Deux bounced back to form over this trip at Uttoxeter earlier this month but may have trouble lasting home today on this easier surface and off a 10lb higher mark. Cold Harbour and Wor Rom have place prospects again but this can go to KIAMA, who came right back to her best when winning easily over C&D two weeks ago and can shrug off a 12lb rise in the weights.
