Alpha Tauri beat multiple course winner Quadriga here in May but the latter has since won and re-opposes on better terms. Best Tamayuz finished ahead of Miniskirt when runner-up here at the start of the year and has every chance while Showboating has scored over 7f at the track but has yet to win over today's distance. CITY OF ANGKOR WAT has yet to win on the Fibresand but has been placed here on several occasions and after going close at Wolverhampton last time, Conor Dore's charge looks set for a return to winning ways.
