Lithograph and Jacob McCandles represent a couple of this track's most prolific yards so it would be no surprise to see either show a big improvement on their return to action. They do have plenty to find on their Fibresand debuts, however, and a tentative vote goes to HANDSOME KING. He has a third over 7f here last month to recommend him, though still has to be forgiven a poor effort on his latest start. Hurdles winner Black Dragon is hard to assess on his debut on the level, while Roughlyn is another looking to improve for his first start at the course.
