Verdict
The Fibresand may have been to blame for BOBS LORD TARA's poor showing at Southwell last time. An earlier fourth at Wetherby was a decent effort and he can make amends here. Winning pointer Cliff Lane should prove the pick of Lucinda Russell's pair while Proud Jack hinted at ability last year. Calton Entry kept on for pressure when fourth at Musselburgh and will know more here.
