It's rare for James Fanshawe to have a runner in this lowly grade and SISTER ANDREA should oblige. She may not have lasted home over 1m4f at Leicester last time and her earlier third over this trip at Folkestone is the best form on offer here. Flying Phoenix won at Wolverhampton and Newcastle earlier in the year but only beat one home in a seller at Kempton last time, while Lord Of The Storm and Danceyourselfdizzy also appear to be going backwards. Crystal Sky would go close on her form in the spring, however, and makes more appeal than newcomer Loganberry who is sprint-bred.
