      Verdict

      Bel Cantor won well here two starts ago and has to be respected back on the Fibresand having disappointed at Lingfield subsequently but he is now 4lbs higher than when winning here previously and may have to settle for minor honours behind HITS ONLY JUDE, who is preferred to Jack Rackham. Bryan Smart's gelding won well at Kempton last time in January and has claims off his new mark just 3lbs higher than at Kempton and only 2lbs higher than when narrowly beaten over course and distance in January last year so he has to be strongly considered with the yard in good form. Conor Dore's Punching is held by the selection on running here last month and of more interest may be Ruth Carr's Frognal, who makes his reappearance and Fibresand debut. Michael Squance's Onceaponatime has been running consistently well and has to be considered but preference is for Hits Only Jude. Declan Carroll's gelding bounced back to winning ways when successful here last month and he has solid claims of following up off just a 4lb higher mark.
