Verdict
Point Zero won a novices race here before landing a seller over track and trip. He’s facing a more difficult task under a penalty today and PIAZON is preferred. The latter has won six times on the Fibresand and looks sure to run his race once again on the back of a recent placed effort here. Archimedes and Jacob's Pillow are course and distance winners but judged on recent form the Newcastle runner-up Spirit Power may prove a bigger threat if handling the surface.
