THREE C’S was in fine form at Southwell earlier in the year when winning three of four outings on the Fibresand. He’s won on the Polytrack before and should go close if returning to action in the same frame of mind. The veteran Good Luck Charm is 9lb higher than when successful at Lingfield last year while Roca Magica landed a double over track and trip in February but could only manage third off today’s mark last time. Misu Pete popped-up at Kempton in March but is hard to catch right while Azets has a poor strike rate and the frustrating Shaffire remains without a win after 15 attempts. Bristol Missile has switched yards having won off a similar mark on Turf last year.
