There was a lot to like about the manner in which
GOING NATIVE won over 1m3f here last time out and her consistency over this sort of trip is a major bonus in a race that lacks strength-in-depth. The 5lb penalty is a slight concern and gives
Howardian Hills hope of going close on these terms. However, his lack of Fibresand experience does have to be a concern.
Warrior's Spirit has won from a higher mark on turf and is not out of his depth in this company, he along with
Cape Hideaway are tentatively forwarded as the best of the modest bunch that make up the rest of the field. (Four of the ten intended runners are out of the handicap on this occasion.)
