      Verdict

      BLOWING DIXIE is a different horse on the Fibresand having now won four of only five starts at the track. He beat previous course winner Angel Lane by over four lengths last time and can defy a 5lb penalty in this. Seven Clans has gone close over track and trip on a couple of occasions and can figure but maiden winner Motawaafeq was withdrawn at the start on his only previous visit to the track. Al Kherb and Azari were both well beaten in the same race here last month while Calling The Wind will be sharper for a recent outing at Lingfield and debuts on the surface.
