Verdict
None have experience of the Fibresand but Blackcastle Storm will likely attract interest given the red-hot form of Richard Hughes’ yard. But a couple have the more recent form including Productive, who finished third at Newcastle behind a Richard Hannon-trained winner. The latter runs ARAFI in this and she gets the speculative vote having placed over today’s trip at Chelmsford on her debut. Cuckoo Clock ran poorly behind the selection last time and Lord Warburton showed little in a couple of starts at Newmarket last year.
