Verdict
IVORY CHARM (NAP) finished a close-up fourth over 7f last time having made up lots of late ground. That suggests this longer trip will suit Richard Fahey’s filly and she gets vote to confirm superiority with Twpsyn and open her account. The older horses make little appeal conceding weight but Stay Forever may finish closer in a first-time visor if taking to the surface while Biz Markee is another debuting on the Fibresand having posted a better effort at Kempton just two days ago.
