Mick Easterby is in irresistible form right now and saddles the veteran Space War for this. He has failed twice off this mark in two starts since a Lingfield victory and preference is for NOBLE ACT. Phil McEntee's filly ran well in a better race than this before finding 6f too sharp last time. Her last two victories have come from higher marks than this and she should be fitter for two runs back from a break. Isntshesomething was a revelation in a first time visor but this looks a lot hotter and Binky Blue may be more of a threat. The jockey booking has been a positive signal during the yard's recent good spell and she is well treated on her best form. Hellfire was progressive last season until having three runs in 25 days last September. She has been off the track since but a positive market signal would make her more appealing.
