None of these have raced on Fibresand before but John Gosden has an impressive strike rate here so MILLICENT FAWCETT gets the vote. The latter has been narrowly beaten in both starts so far including at Newcastle recently when ahead of Mosakhar and that looks good enough form in this company. The latter is weighted to beat Momtalik on today’s terms but Memory Hill is a likely improver and preferred to Abwab, who drops back down in trip despite improving for the step up to 1m4f last time.
