Two old rivals in Mr Strutter and First Excel meet again here after the former was successful just before Xmas when they clashed over C&D. It should be close between the pair again with First Excel capable of extracting his revenge if he settles better in his usual prominent role this time. Point Zero steps into handicaps for the first time on Fibresand but this sphere is unlikely to cure his propensity to finish weakly. LIAMBA gets just her 2nd try on this surface having looked well suited by it so far and if she’s ready to go after a break a big run is expected. This trip tends to stretch Archimedes who resides on a good mark while Grise Lightning is of interest if she acts here.
