    Verdict

    Excusez Moi comes out best at the weights but has no form at this track to speak of and hasn't won since 2009. Elhamri went close when runner-up in a similar event at Lingfield last time with HARLECH CASTLE just behind but the latter can reverse that form back on the Fibresand. Jim Boyle's charge has won three times over C&D and looks to have every chance of making it four here. Cape Of Storms won at this track last month but has a bit to find with the selection on these terms and Silver Wind could prove a bigger threat dropping down in class.
