Samovar finished in front of Dark Shot, with Oeil De Tigre and Aleef further behind when fourth here last time, though was beaten by Queen Of Kalahari over track and trip earlier. The latter has subsequently placed over 6f back here while Young Tiger went close at Newcastle recently and has won on this surface in the past. It’s been sometime since Poyle Vinnie last won on Fibresand but he slips further down the weights while FREE LOVE has placed off higher marks here. She finished runner-up in a tougher race at Nottingham last month and it could be her turn today in an open sprint.
