6f 16y
Going: Standard / Slow
Surface: AllWeather
Draw Advantage: NoneIt was hard not to be taken by the style of FIRCOMBE HALL's win at Newcastle last time, where the Philip Kirby-trained colt was always travelling strongly. A repeat performance should make the son of Charming Thought tough to beat off a 5lb higher mark and he can hold the upper hand over Bomb Squad, who shaped better than the result suggests from a wide draw at Wolverhampton on his latest outing. Daysaq drops back in trip having raced too freely at the Dunstall Park venue on his most recent run and looks next best.
