      Verdict

      Southwell regular Point Zero arrives in fine form but has recorded both wins to date on the Fibresand and it remains to be seen if he’s as effective on this surface. There are no doubts on that score concerning RED STRIPES, who has won six times in 22 outings here including a recent course and distance success. Lisa Williamson’s charge remains on a winning mark, despite a 5lb rise, and can go in again. Dandilion went close at Kempton on her first start after wind surgery and is preferred to Time To Reason, who is usually thereabouts but hasn’t won since 2016.
