There look to be one or two progressive types in this although Fibresand form is rather thin on the ground. Hard Graft has already experienced this surface and showed a good deal of improvement to land a gamble when winning here last time out. Raised 7lb for that win he now steps up to 7f and will need to find some further improvement. PAPA STOUR looks as though he’s really found his stride now and from a stable that do well here he’s given a real chance of following up his Wolverhampton victory under a 6lb penalty. Sheriff is another progressive sort who has yet to run here but won impressively last time out with the pedigree giving hope that he will handle this surface. Helen Sherbet has a 153 form line here but tries 7f for the first time here and needs to progress again although he experience of this surface will prove useful.
