TIGER'S HOME (NAP) has really taken to the Fibresand and won both starts here last month, including a seven-length romp on her latest outing. She beat Danish Duke on that occasion and the latter has subsequently won here, beating Best Tamayuz and Moonlight Venture with Monsieur Jimmy and Dream Scenario further behind. Uncle Brit and Royal Holiday are course and distance winners but Big Storm Coming arrives in better form and looks a bigger danger.
