Plenty with a shout in this but it could pay to stick with MAJESTIC MOON given he beat Zaeem over a mile here last week by a couple of lengths. That looks decent form as Zaeem had earlier landed a double over course and distance and beaten Letmestopyouthere and Bold Spirit in the process. The latter had earlier finished second to Queens Royale here while Spun Gold landed a double on the Fibresand at the turn of the year and Kody Ridge was successful over 6f here on his latest start. Right Action is another recent winner though that came at Wolverhampton and he debuts on this surface.
