NORDIKHAB has been responsible for plenty of burnt fingers in the past and while he's shown very little in handicaps this term, we hope that he will benefit for what had become an increasingly inevitable slide into plating company. Mandy The Nag beat Reconsider Baby when the pair met on the Fibresand at Southwell although their turf form suggests that they will be significantly closer to each other tonight. Tornado Battle left Mark Johnston after one outing on the Polytrack and is tried in headgear for the first time. Scala Romana appears likely to appreciate the step up in trip on pedigree though Sir Mark Prescott's filly hasn't demonstrated too much aptitude for turf on her three outings so far.
