Southwell’s unique Fibresand surface is no more and the track joins Wolverhampton and Newcastle in racing on Tapeta. TOROMONA bids to become the first winner on the new surface having finished behind a subsequent winner when third at Newcastle on his handicap debut and the Godolphin charge should stay this far. Cigoli is another unexposed type likely to figure while both Gleneaglet and Can Can Girl placed at Wolverhampton last time and the latter beat a below-par Tommy R at Newcastle earlier. Set In Stone has won over hurdles since last on the Flat while Zoom Zoom Babe is preferred to Cuban Hope off her current mark.
