        Verdict

        A tight sprint given all of these have form on Fibresand and most are old foes. Acclaim The Nation scored over track and trip last month beating ORNATE by a neck with Erissimus Maximus and Samovar further behind. But the runner-up has gone close again in a higher grade sprint here and it could be his turn today with an apprentice’s allowance also helping his cause. Samovar has since been beaten by Classic Pursuit over course and distance while Eternal Sun won in a lower grade at the track last month and is 5lb higher today. Jacob's Pillow returns from a lay-off though he and Midnight Malibu have both have won on this surface in the past.
