Verdict

A fairly weak finale and the small field should suit TOPAMICHI who likes to race prominently and could attempt to dominate here having shown he acts on this surface with the furlong shorter trip looking to be in his favour. Swift Cedar should go well here having a decent record over C&D although he did look a little laboured here last time out and his stable mate Sonnetist could be of more interest if he takes to the surface (his sire is starting to look an influence on Fibresand). Vigee Le Brun now starts life for a new yard having previously been with Brian Meehan and looks a viable proposition if she takes to this surface.
