Verdict
All of these have won on the Fibresand. Moonshine Ridge reversed earlier running with Down Time when winning an amateurs' race here last week over 1m6f. Dark Diamond also scored under an amateur in a claiming race at the track last time while Brassbound landed a seller over 1m4f here last month but this is tougher. Be My Sea has won over 1m6f at this venue but found Down Time too good on his latest start while Ruler Of The Nile was successful over track and trip in February but has been raised 9lb after going close at Lingfield. GABRIAL THE DUKE (NAP) won over 2m at the latter track in March and is only 2lb higher today so Richard Fahey's charge should make another bold bid.
