The veteran General Tufto won this back in 2015 but was well beaten here earlier in the week and Monsieur Jimmy has struggled since scoring at the track in November. Planetaria has placed in all three previous outings on Fibresand while Symbolic Star is upped 6lb for winning at Newcastle and debuts on this surface along with the unexposed Ebtkaar. DOSE is a rare winner but her only success so far came over course and distance and having finished second at Chelmsford recently, she may come good again in this with Paul Hanagan taking over the reins.
