ZYLAN has been raised a further 7lb having scored over track and trip last month. But he’s now won three of only four starts on the Fibresand including on this card last year and Roger Fell’s charge should make another bold bid. He beat Crosse Fire last time and Kommander Kirkup also beat the former when winning over course and distance but Tricky Dicky looks the main threat. The latter just missed out in a tougher sprint over 5f here back in January and should go close again with a similar effort.
