Obboorr hasn't done as well as expected and makes his all-weather debut though this longer trip will suit. Rocky Rebel last won a race two years ago when successful from 7lb higher on this track. He was running poorly when last seen in the summer but My Manekineko's latest effort at Southwell should be ignored as he's never taken to Fibresand. Jamaica Grande goes well here and just holds the consistent but luckless Princess Willow on last month's un but James Pollard has been placed just once in 18 starts on Polytrack. Midnight Sequel has won four times around here including an easy victory in a low-grade handicap last time but a chance is taken on a return to form by WAVING, who completed a double at this time a year ago and is an incredible 20lb lower in the weights.
