This won't take much winning but Rustique went backwards after a promising start at Kempton in November. Sarafina is 4lb higher than when beaten in a seller here in April but Senor Firecracker has improved a little this season, though will have to prove he stays this far. VICTORINA finished last on her reappearance at Newmarket but she should strip fitter today and this represents a drop in class. She's another with her stamina to prove but she has more scope than Idle Talker and El Campeon.
