Race preview
WRATH OF HECTOR made all to win over 7f here on his penultimate outing, keeping on strongly inside the final furlong, and although he needs to leave behind a wayward effort when switched to the Tapeta at Newcastle last time, the return to Fibresand may well spark a revival. If this longer trip stretches his stamina than 1m winner Delph Crescent, who is only 1lb above his last winning (turf) mark, could be the one to capitalise. Vive La Difference is 6lb higher than when winning at Newcastle in December but cannot be discounted either.
