His French form would give him a chance in this but he does appear to be struggling a bit in his GB runs. Now gets a go on Fibresand in new headgear and is by a sire with an 18% strike-rate here although the yard is rather quiet.
Made a successful start for this yard at Wolverhampton in May and has also run well at Chelmsford. Looked very rusty back from a break last time and now makes his Fibresand debut with doubts about him.
All his wins have come on the AW at Dundalk when with his former yard and has also run some fair races in handicaps. Below par on the beach at Laytown on his first run for this yard and makes his Fibresand debut here.
Three time course winner (twice at this level over further) and shaped with a little more promise last time out over 6f at Chelmsford. Of interest now returned to his best track although this trip could be a little on the short side.
Has run with credit on the turf this season but both his wins have come on Tapeta over 5f. Well beaten on his only try on this surface though so something to prove.
C&D winner who stopped his slide last time with a second at this level on turf at Windsor over 6f in the face of a very hard task. Has looked a rather hard ride though but has strong claims at these weights.
Five-times a winner over C&D for his former yard with his last win coming here but is rather inconsistent and faces a tough task at these weights on his first start for a new yard.

The Big Lad (4/6), Vroom (3/1), Strategic Heights (12/1), Absolutely Awesome (12/1), Tan (14/1), Roaring Rory (20/1), Red Flute (25/1), Monsieur Jamie (66/1)
Vroom makes some appeal here and he looked on the way back last time and he has plenty of form on this surface unfortunately this trip looks a little short for him. THE BIG LAD can look a rather awkward ride but he had a difficult task last time is favoured by the weights and is C&D winner. Strategic Heights has to be considered along with Tan who would be of more interest if his stable was in better form.
