KESTREL CALL looks the one to beat on his latest form. He romped home over 6f here at the end of January when beating Englishwoman over three lengths and the latter went on to land a hat-trick. Simon Crisford's colt is preferred to recent maiden winner Cultured Knight and Redcar maiden winner Twentysvnthlancers while the James Given-trained course and distance winners, Cool Silk Boy and Feelin Dicky, have both been well beaten recently. Lingfield winner Jess makes her debut on the Fibresand along with Kempton runner-up Mysterious Look.
