Tasaaboq makes a quick reappearance having placed at Wolverhampton on Tuesday while Vivre La Reve was runner-up in a maiden race here last time. Lady Bacchus won at Newcastle last month and finished ahead of TRIBESMAN back at the same track last time. But the latter was third on this surface before that and Marjorie Fife’s charge may prove good enough back on the Fibresand today. Gettin' Lucky posted his best effort so far when second here recently while Clever Divya drops down in class.
