Verdict

ISSTOORA is clear of the opposition on today’s terms and a chance is taken Archie Watson’s filly handles the Fibresand after finishing second in a handicap at Chelmsford last month. Redcar runner-up Siyahamba looks best of the rest at the weights but the less exposed Flying Raconteur may prove a bigger threat. The latter posted a much better effort when finding one too good at Newcastle on his latest start and there should be more to come from him.
