Has a good record on this surface (3231) adding his latest win in first-time eyeshields over this trip prior to following up under a penalty in good style at Wolverhampton. Capable from higher marks in the past and 1lb well in here under a penalty.
Four-time course winner (twice over C&D) who saw his good run of form come to an end here when he couldn't get to the lead (likely to get a clearer shot at it here). That run did come in a far better race than this; hope for redemption.
Won here over 1m on his debut but not returned to the surface until recently taking advantage of a reduced handicap mark to score over 1m. Ran with credit straight after that despite being raised 10lb over this trip from a poor draw; better over 1m.
Can never be written off around here despite often getting behind and looking a hard ride. Four-time C&D winner who ran well over 1m here last time bumping into a pair of useful rivals for the grade; always to be respected on this surface.
Took a while to get rid of her maiden tag but did so on her stable debut over 7f at Kempton; seen to good effect the way the race developed. Given his past profile doesn't look the type to follow up making his Fibresand debut.
Beat the reluctant hero Point Zero (runs earlier) in a 6f claimer last month doing well having missed the break. Won't be able to get away with that sort of performance at this level though and needs to break on terms to make an impact.
Has history in this race having won it twice once off a much higher mark; those two wins part of his three C&D victories. Not seen out much since; returned from a long break last month over further under an inexperienced amateur; market clues vital.
Makes his stable/Fibresand debut off a long break having shown useful form in the past when with Kevin Ryan. Showed very little for George Peckham in three AW runs and can only be watched here unless the market decides otherwise.
Forecasts
Weld Al Emarat (11/8), Robero (7/2), Angel Palanas (5/1), Hammer Gun (11/2), The Right Choice (16/1), Kyllachy Dragon (18/1), Zaeem (25/1), Whirl Me Round (66/1)
ROBERO comes into this looking to complete his hat-trick having scored on two different AW surfaces to put him in this position. His first of those two wins came over C&D to prove that he’s very at home on this surface and even under a penalty he still looks well treated. Angel Palanas is likely to get a better chance to lead here and that will show him in a better light than earlier in the week. Weld Al Emerat is another who is very at home on Fibresand but this 7f may be a little on the short side and he along with Hammer Gun who can never be ruled out here may get rolling too late in the piece. 2016 and 2018 winner Zaeem isn’t in the same form but can’t be ruled out if the market speaks.
