Verdict
Tartan Jura won over today's trip in soft ground in October so there's a good chance he'll handle the Fibresand. He's been thereabouts off his current mark since scoring at Goodwood and a bold bid looks likely. LIFETIME is also a winner at Goodwood and can race off the same mark today. Brian Ellison's charge has finished second at this track before and may well be up to going one better today. Almadan and Inside Knowledge have been well beaten over hurdles recently so Kazbow is preferred having tumbled down the weights last year.
