Plenty with form on the Fibresand including the inconsistent Queens Royale, who scored over track and trip on her penultimate start while Ubla was a close-up fourth here earlier in the month. Unnoticed was placed at the track back in February and can race off a lower mark today while both Fortinbrass and Noble Ballad have won over track and trip this year with the former looking well treated. But BEST TAMAYUZ (NAP) was having his first start for nearly a year when third over a mile here last week and the course and distance winner gets the nod back over today’s trip.
