11/2
his Fibresand/stable debut after having three runs for Henry Candy although he was disappointing on his only AW (Tapeta) outing so far. Sire has a decent enough strike-rate on this surface and stable's runners always of interest here.

15/8
Made plenty of appeal on pedigree before making his debut here (strong in the betting) and travelled well on the surface to run out a 3L winner. Looked as though he knew his job on debut but looks capable of further progress.

5/2
Showed plenty of improvement from her first run to second (both runs on Fibresand) when scoring here last time out. Made all for her win and looked a natural on the surface and looked to have enough pace to cope with this furlong shorter trip.

15/2
Modest form in two starts so far (both on Tapeta) although he did match his debut run last time out. Will need to show more here to take a hand against two progressive types who have already proved themselves on the surface.

33/1
This will be her first try on Fibresand although her debut run at Chelmsford showed little and it was overall an unpromising start. Looked green and inexperienced and faces a tough test here.

Jumeirah Street
Age: 3|  Weight: 8-6| J: L Morris| T: J Tate
9/2
Makes her debut here but does have a pedigree that should be of interest on Fibresand being out of a US 1m dirt winner. Well worth taking a market check on her with that background.

Forecasts

Silchester (15/8), One More Chance (5/2), Jumeirah Street (9/2), Cobalty Isle (11/2), Assimile (15/2), Teardrop Island (10/1), Furze Lady (33/1)

Verdict

Two of these have already proved themselves on this unique surface and SILCHESTER was very impressive here last time out on his debut and looks as though he can progress further. One More Chance is another who has shown that she acts on Fibresand although her win here wasn’t quite up to the standard of her main rival. Those two will be hard to beat although the newcomer Jumeirah Street with her pedigree should be watched in the market and Cobalty Isle is also respected given his connections.
