BROOKLYN BOY has a hike in the weights to contend with having won easily at this venue before making all at Lingfield last week. But he still scored with plenty in hand last time and should make a bold bid for the hat-trick. Tigray won over track and trip in between poor efforts elsewhere on the all-weather and can figure back on this surface while Twpsyn is penalised for winning at Kempton recently but has scored here in the past. Mukha Magic debuts on the Fibresand for last year’s winning yard and is preferred to Star Ascending and Zack Mayo.
Zack Mayo 13-2 (9-13) Led and keen, headed over 2f out, weakened over 1f out, 9th of 11, 20 1/4l behind Ice Pyramid (9-12) at Newcastle 1m 4f hcp (5) pol in Jan.
Brooklyn Boy Evensfav (8-13) Made all, pressed over 2f out, ridden over 1f out, kept on well, won at Lingfield 1m 4f hcp (6) pol in Feb beating Dream Magic (9-9) by 2 3/4l, 14 ran.
Twpsyn (IRE) 20-1 (9-2) Tracked leaders, led just over 1f out, strongly challenged throughout final furlong, all out, just held on, won at Kempton 1m 4f hcp (5) pol in Feb beating Dangerous Ends (9-5) by hd, 9 ran.
Tigray (USA) 7-2 (9-12) Held up towards rear, headway over 2f out, soon no impression, weakened approaching final furlong, last of 7, 9 3/4l behind Glan Y Gors (9-12) at Newcastle 1m 4f hcp (5) pol in Feb.
Star Ascending (IRE) 12-1 (9-4) Chased leaders, effort over 2f out, kept on under pressure closing stages, 3rd of 4, 4 3/4l behind Arabian King (9-7) at Southwell 1m 3f hcp (5) pol in Feb.
