Southwell specialist La Estrella was winning for the seventh time this year on Fibresand when landing a claimer last month but is hard to fancy under these different conditions and RIGHT STUFF is preferred. The latter went very close over C&D the last time he raced at this track in April and has won twice over timber since then. Dark Ranger is another with strong claims on the best of his turf form, but Quinsman was well beaten off today's mark at Wolverhampton on Monday having won a couple of handicaps at the same track before that. Quiz Mistress could prove best of the remainder.
