None have form on the Fibresand but Kevin Ryan gets his fair share of winners here and FIGHTER PILOT may prove good enough. He was no match for Bedford Flyer at Newcastle but the latter has won again so that form looks better in hindsight. Kevin The Minion finished in front of Hugsy when placed at Newcastle and is another to consider while the latter’s stablemate Chillsea is the first foal of a Group 3 winner and is preferred to Andalaska Bear of Richard Fahey’s three runners.
