Due to run here yesterday, Ticks The Boxes has done all his winning over 6f so far. My Town Chicago debuts on this surface having made all at Wolverhampton last time when just holding off the attentions of LIAMBA (NAP). But the latter is proven on the Fibresand and David O’Meara’s filly may well reverse running on today’s more favourable terms. Sooqaan and Thunder Buddy filled the places over track and trip back in March while Mister Freeze returns to this venue for the first time since scoring over course and distance last year and can race off the same mark.
