Verdict
Samovar won a lower grade sprint here a week ago and carries 6lb extra while Gift In Time only won a novice event over track and trip on New Year’s Day and has been beaten in handicaps subsequently. Joegogo scored at Wolverhampton last month but debuts on this surface along with the progressive GRANDFATHER TOM. Bob Cowell’s colt landed a hat-trick of wins over the minimum trip with a recent success at Newcastle and a chance is taken he proves just as effective on the Fibresand.
