CURIOUS MIND makes her handicap debut having scored over a mile here on her introduction. Expected to improve for today's longer distance, Sir Mark Prescott's unexposed filly gets the vote. Jacobs Son went close over 1m3f here last week and the course and distance winner looks a threat back on a winning mark. A Little Bit Dusty gets his first taste of the Fibresand having won on the Polytrack twice this year while Flamingo Beat handles the track but hasn't raced since October. Naburn may finish closer than his previous attempt on this surface but the veteran Docofthebay is on the downgrade and a doubtful stayer.
