VOLEUR DE TERRES confirmed her win from out of the handicap was no fluke when following up at Warwick and should make a bold bid for the hat-trick. Steal The Moves looked rejuvenated by the fitting of cheekpieces when runner-up at Ffos Las and rates the main threat ahead of Girls Best Friend, who might have found heavy ground against him last time.
