LUSCIFER makes a quick reappearance under a penalty having returned a clear winner over track and trip four days ago. There looks plenty more to come from him on this surface and he can go in again. Class Clown showed major improvement on his handicap debut when scoring over 6f here though that was back in December and he’s 7lb higher today while Dark Phoenix has won two of his last three outings though both wins came over further and he debuts on the Fibresand. Chocolaat Heer and Full Secret have lots of scope while Hong Kong Dragon has switched yards since finishing runner-up in a claimer at Lingfield.
