Verdict
MATSUNOSUKE arrives in decent form having won a couple of claimers at Wolverhampton recently. Although a rare visitor to this track, Ron Harris' charge has been placed on Fibresand and, if running anywhere near his official rating, he will take all the beating on today's terms. Elhamri finished just behind him at Wolverhampton earlier and makes his Fibresand debut, but Sloop John B has won here and looks capable of taking advantage if the selection doesn't perform to his best. Johannesgray never recovered from a slow start over 6f here last time and is better judged on his close third behind Incomparable over today's trip four days earlier.
