Verdict

Kingscombe is best on the Fibresand at Southwell and Java Rose is preferred back on this surface. Superciliary is a course and distance winner but hasn't raced since May while Carraig Rock is unproven over the distance. Air Squadron ran well enough for third over 2m1f at Pontefract last time and has leading claims but the vote goes to SABORIDO (NAP). He can race off the same mark as when winning this in 2012, despite carrying a penalty for last week's success at Lingfield.
