In depth
Verdict
Most have form on the Fibresand though recent course and distance winners Equidae and Long Socks are upped in class for this. The former had Baron Run back in third a week ago while MAMA AFRICA (NAP) finished ahead of Majestic Moon when beaten only a head in a higher grade handicap here at the same meeting. David Barron’s mare should also have the beating of Tum Tum on collateral form and gets the vote to return to winning ways. Motajaasid won here in December but remains 5lb higher having gone close at Lingfield subsequently.
