Verdict

Several of these may appreciate the return to Fibresand. Shoot To Win won a maiden here last year, though has switched yards since, while Asdaa has placed here in the past and is not badly treated on previous winning form. But the latter comment also applies to BRAINS (NAP), who returns to this venue for the first time since scoring off a 5lb higher mark at this time last year - it could be his turn again today. Dubai Acclaim and Jewel Maker debut on the surface and there was little between them at Newcastle last month.
