        Verdict

        Storm Check is a rare runner at the track for Saeed Bin Suroor and will need to improve now handicapping. By contrast, Hughie Morrison gets plenty of winners on this surface and SLEEP EASY has decent claims of adding to the trainer's tally on an earlier fourth at Sandown. Trafalgar Rock should also go well and Old Fashion is another to consider if taking to the surface. Geeaitch is the only one with proven form on the Fibresand so his return from a lengthy absence may not be such a disadvantage.
