Contingency Fee completed a hat-trick with last week’s success at Wolverhampton and recorded the first of those wins over 1m4f here when Going Native was well beaten. Loose Chippings has gone close in both starts at the track since switching yards and should also be in the mix while Love Rat has won here before but his latest success came over a longer trip at Lingfield. Cold Harbour has yet to race on Fibresand but BILLY RUSKIN was placed in maiden company here in November. Kevin Ryan’s charge has undergone a second wind operation subsequently and gets a speculative vote on his reappearance and handicap debut.
