Both The Yank and Minstrel Lad were placed the last time they raced over 1m4f and can figure again but both of Kingscombe's wins have been over shorter trips on the Fibresand including his latest victory at Southwell. Jimmy Quinn could afford to ease down MR LANDO in the closing stages over course and distance last week and still score by nearly four lengths. Tony Carroll's charge can defy a penalty and land a quick double. Penang Pegasus was beaten less than a length on the Polytrack here last time and could prove the biggest threat.
