Rosbay won here last month but seems better with some cut in the ground and both of Rubi Dia's wins came on the Fibresand. Grand Diamond's recent second was in a seller over a longer trip, while Power Force has yet to race over further than a mile and his owners first colours are carried by a horse from another yard in NERVES OF STEEL. Paul Cole's colt showed ability on all three starts last year without getting his head in front and may have improved enough in the interim to score on his handicap debut.
