In depth
Verdict
Al Suil Eile beat Bond Angel and Salam Ya Faisal when scoring over track and trip a week ago and Nick Vedder landed a double over 6f here when winning at the same fixture. Iva Reflection beat Kraka by only a head when successful at the track last time and Motawaafeq has been in good form over a mile here. But NORDIC FIRE also handles the Fibresand and having placed at Newcastle on his last three outings, Roger Fell’s charge may well end a long losing run in this.
