Verdict
None of these have raced on Fibresand before but RAYMOND TUSK is clear at the weights. He ran well in the November Handicap at Doncaster on only his second outing since returning to action and should take advantage of the favourable terms if acting on the surface. Johnny Drama is in fine form having landed a double at Kempton this month but is penalised today while Faramman has little chance at the weights though is guaranteed prize money.
