Mews House is the only one of these with form on the Fibresand having placed over track and trip the last twice. But he has no easy task at the weights and a chance is taken on HOLY ELEANOR. The latter was beaten only a length over 6f at Kempton recently and this shorter trip will suit her front-running style for a yard in good form. Flight Of Thunder is not out of this on today’s terms but has yet to race on the all-weather and returns from a lay-off while Barbelo showed major improvement at Wolverhampton last time and is preferred to Sweet Talked.
