Most of these have been running on the all-weather and Bushel has also been hurdling, as has Iftiraaq. LIFE LESS ORDINARY won at Windsor around this time last year and makes more appeal than Mountain Rescue, who has reserved his best so far for artificial surfaces. Fire And Passion is still a maiden but only found one too good at Wolverhampton 10 days ago and that is better than Icebuster's most recent effort at Chelmsford - the latter may also need further than this. Sunday Royal has been a big disappointment and hasn't raced since November.
