After four runs at Kempton culminating with a cosy win over 6f last week, DASHWOOD makes his debut on Fibresand. He should get the extra furlong here and is hard to oppose if taking to the track.

Novay Essjay remains potentially well handicapped on his best form after winning at Wolverhampton last time but Itsthursdayalready has a poor strike rate and looks in need of some respite from the handicapper.
