Course regular Sleet should be in the mix again but usually comes up short and SATELLITE EXPRESS is preferred. Today's longer trip should be no problem judging by the way she won over 6f here last month. A dual winner at Wolverhampton, Poppy Bond handles this surface and can go well but Art Dzeko and Dancing Maite will need to step up on their recent efforts at the track to figure. Jonnie Skull was due to run here yesterday.
