Brassbound scored by three lengths over track and trip in April but returns from a lengthy absence along with Tartan Jura, a course and distance winner in April. Chevalgris won at Pontefract in August and is worth another try on this surface while Rock of Ages is another course and distance winner but arrives in woeful form. THE QUATERJACK finished runner-up over 1m6f on his only previous start on Fibresand and won over 2m1f at Bath last year. He gets a speculative vote back on this surface.
