      Verdict

      Red Gift finished fourth over 6f at this track last year and is the only one with experience of the Fibresand but a chance is taken TIGHT KNIT handles the surface given the Wolverhampton winner has been running well in handicaps of late and has much the best form on offer. Little Dolly made a winning start at Wolverhampton and should get involved on her handicap debut but Misleading Promise has been tailed off in a couple of starts since going close at the same track in December. Polar Forest needs a big improvement if he's to figure.
