    Verdict

    This is ARMY OF STARS' first try on the Fibresand but his overall form looks superior to that of his rivals and, getting weight all round, he will surely prevail if handling the surface. Ace Of Spies has won twice over 6f around here but stays further and is the one most likely to profit if Jamie Osborne's charge fails to deliver as Elusive Warrior has disappointed on his last two starts. William Morgan won a seller over a mile here last month but may find this shorter distance against him and also faces a stiff task at the weights.
