Given a break after making a disappoi8nting handicap debut on heavy ground at Doncaster in July his two runs on the AW since have shown him in a better light. Now makes his Fibresand debut (sire has a decent record here) and should go well in a weak contest.
Well beaten on all his four starts so far with the last two coming on the AW over 5f and 6f. Hard to make much of a case for him on what he's shown so far.
It looks as though this surface brings out the best in him and he ran well in the face of a stiff task in a 6f maiden here last time. Should run his race here but would be of far more interest in a low grade handicap.
Has had just the two runs so far both on the AW and separated by a gap of some 7 months. His debut form has worked out well and he once again ran well when returned to the track after a break and will be hard to beat if he handles the Fibresand on his debut on the surface.
Improved for her first try at sprinting on this surface in a low-grade handicap (blinkers on for first-time) but failed to back that run up last time over the same C&D. Back to maiden company now and lacks any real appeal.
One previous try here amounted to little over 7f on her first run for this yard and has shown very little since. Ran poorly last time out and hard to hold out much hope that she can break her maiden here.
Tried in handicaps and maidens here recording form figures of 424 over C&D. Not disgraced here last time out in a 0-60 5f handicap but in the end could only make late headway and a place may well be the best she can manage here.
One of five making their Fibresand debut here although she hasn't shown much in her 10 runs so far for either Richard Hughes her previous trainer of her current yard. Has run poorly in three low-grade handicaps for this yard and would be an unlikely maiden winner.

This isn’t a strong event and with neither of the likely front two in the market having had any experience of this unique surface it makes little appeal as a betting contest. The sire of GUSTAVO FRING (Kodiac) who brings the best form into this race has a decent enough record on this surface and he’s given the vote over his main rival in Decision Maker who wears the tongue-tie for the first time. Excellent World has shown some form here but looks as though handicaps will suit better as they will Gettin’ Lucky who has managed to make the frame on his last two visit and may be able to do so again.
