Verdict
EXCELLENT AIM arrives on the back of a couple of placed efforts and finished second on his only previous start on Fibresand. He can beat Incomparable, who won last year's renewal off a lower mark while stablemate Sir Geoffrey won this in 2013 and is now back on a winning mark. Pull The Pin has not won anything since 2013 but Divertimenti and Shawkantango are course and distance winners with a shout if back to their best and Lucky Mark has won twice over 6f at the track.
