Verdict
It's hard to get away from TAKE COVER here as he's shown a real affinity for the Fibresand. He scored over 7f at the first time of asking here last month before following up over C&D on his handicap bow a week ago and a 7lb penalty may not be enough to prevent the hat-trick. Ace Of Spies and Arrivaderci have plenty to find with the selection on latest running, but Elhamri won here last week and is closely matched with the runner-up Brio given the latter re-opposes on better terms. C&D winner Dunmore Boy returns to action off a winning mark and makes more appeal than No Mean Trick, who scored over 5f here in August.
