Royal Trooper won one of these events under Becky Brisbourne at Wolverhampton last month when getting the better of ROCK OF AGES. But the latter has subsequently won over 1m6f at this track and is taken to come out best on the Fibresand. Jawaab is a course winner and arrives on the back of a win at Wolverhampton while Flash Crash was placed over a shorter trip here last month and may also figure. Leading amateur Simon Walker takes over the reins on Capitol Gain and the latter may get involved if his stamina holds out.
