Verdict
Excelling Oscar has finished runner-up the last twice over 7f here and was ahead of Amenable last week. But neither of the latter pair have won over this far before and dual course and distance winner IT'S ALL A GAME is taken to reverse earlier running with Excelling Oscar and come out best on this occasion. General Tufto is a prolific winner on the Fibresand and still pops-up on occasions. He was second to Eium Mac here back in January when the latter recorded his only win so far in 20 starts.
