Poyle Vinnie won nicely at Southwell last time but seems best on the Fibresand nowadays. Kasbah is upped 5lb for winning over track and trip last month when Zac Brown finished third while Fast Track is raised a couple of grades after scoring at Wolverhampton. Doctor Sardonicus went close at Chelmsford last month and has decent claims but another chance goes to DOUGAN in this. The latter was placed in a conditions race at Newcastle last time and should make another bold bid.
