Verdict
Blowing Dixie has found only one too good in both subsequent outings since scoring over track and trip last month. It could prove a similar story here given BEAT THE HEAT has now won five of his last six outings, including a hat-trick on this surface, and there looks more to come this year. My Boy Sepoy scored at Kempton recently but debuts on the Fibresand while Thawry was only placed in a seller here a week ago. Tigray won a plating race at the track at this time last year but Cold Harbour’s losing run continues.
