        Verdict

        First Excel extended a string of placed efforts when third at Newcastle last time and was beaten by Kommander Kirkup here back in November and THE GOLDEN CUE over track and trip more recently. That was the latter’s first start on Fibesand and there should be more to come from Steph Hollinshead’s charge on this surface. Liamba finished behind the selection while Pearl Acclaim and Fly True have both been beaten at Chelmsford since winning their penultimate starts over course and distance. Poet's Pride and Muatadel are not out of this either if taking to the track.
