Dashwood can be forgiven for failing to land the odds on his first start on Fibresand as he won over C&D before that though he's 8lb higher today. Sherjawy and The Wee Chief are expected to do better back at this level after modest efforts on the turf, while Boragh Jamal has claims judged on her best form. DVINSKY failed to figure at Brighton last time but has won eight times at this track and went close off today's mark over C&D last month. Michael Squance's charge gets the nod to return to winning ways in this company.
