A prolific course winner with six previous wins on the Fibresand, SHEARIAN is 2lb lower than when last successful here. A recent close-up second over track and trip, he looks the one to beat representing last year’s winning yard. Sooqaan is also at his best here and it would be no surprise to see a much better effort from him though Mr Coco Bean has more scope and won over course and distance in January. Break The Silence is another course winner though ran poorly here behind the selection last time and Hula Girl steps up in distance for her Fibresand debut having plummeted down the weights since May.
