Sensational Day has competed at a higher level since an excellent second to Move over the C&D in September and is tried in blinkers for the first time. Lightening Stricks dropped to this trip for the first time here last month and produced his best run to date behind Youm Mutamiez. LITTLE LUXURY has run very well on both starts at this venue and, though it was over 6f that she was beaten a short-head last time, she stays this trip well enough to get the vote here. Rock On Ciara showed her first sign of form when runner-up to Harry Days over the C&D last time and can get involved.
