SIR GEOFFREY is a winner without a penalty having landed an apprentice race over track and trip last week. He can confirm running with stablemate Robyn and follow-up.

Wolverhampton winner Danzoe is upped 5lb and has yet to race at this track and joint topweight Starlight Angel is another making her Fibresand debut.
