        Verdict

        Stradater won over track and trip last time and the runner-up City Of Angkor Wat has subsequently scored at Lingfield. That looks stronger form than General Tufto's recent win here though the latter, a real Fibresand specialist, has the beating of last month's runner-up Falcon's Reign on collateral form. Al Muheer has been running well at Wolverhampton but has yet to race on the Fibresand while Music Hall makes his debut for a new yard having won twice in France. The unexposed DARK DIAMOND (NAP) was runner-up in a maiden race here last time giving stacks of weight to a winner rated 79. He may well be up to landing this on his handicap debut.
