Custard The Dragon is at his best here but has done all his winning over 7f so far and CAPLA CUBISTE makes more appeal. She also won over 7f here in August with Cape Greco well behind but had earlier placed over track and trip when runner-up to Finery. The latter has struggled since and undergone wind surgery though Jazz Hands has also won on the Fibresand and is preferred to Mountain Rescue and House Deposit. The unexposed Arju makes her handicap debut and could go well if taking to the surface having gone close in a maiden back in July.
