        Verdict

        Acquisitor has experience of Fibresand though has plenty to find on these terms with HIGH SECURITY. The latter has switched to Nigel Tinkler’s yard since finishing runner-up at Bath in October and should go close if handling the surface. Kenyx also debuts for new connections on his comeback and is fitted with a tongue-tie having also undergone wind surgery while Royal Guard also returns to action and Air Time drops down in trip having attempted to make all over 6f at Newcastle. The newcomer Did She Though looks nothing special on pedigree though represents an in-form yard.
