Verdict
Royal Holiday found only General Tufto too good here in January but re-opposes on better terms and can come out best this time. He is also better off with BLAZEOFENCHANTMENT on earlier running over track and trip but the latter scored by five lengths on that occasion and gets the vote returning to the Fibresand for the first time since that emphatic win. Last month's Wolverhampton winner Walk Like A Giant has been placed here before while Playtothewhistle handles the surface and has slipped down the weights.
