FormscanBy Tom Weekes - FIXATION ran satisfactorily over course-and-distance in May and should compete in this open-looking handicap on suitably fast ground. The selection initially showed ability on turf before he scored at Dundalk in November and then finished runner-up at that all-weather course in December. Although he only finished seventh here in May, he wasn’t beaten far and has dropped 1lb, with today’s rider now claiming an extra 2lb. Diamond Exchange should appreciate a return to a sound surface, having disappointed on soft at Down Royal recently while able handicapper Clear Quartz would prefer easy going. Great Mover has recent soft-ground form.
