Verdict

BUZZ BIRD saves her best for the Fibresand and won here twice earlier in the year. She is returning from lay-off but has gone well fresh before and should be capable of further improvement. She gets the vote ahead of Olney Lass ,who has taken well to this surface, and Lean Machine who has been in fair form on the Polytrack recently. Mr Emirati was a disappointing favourite at Wolverhampton last time after winning his maiden at the same track before that and it remains to be seen if this surface will bring about a return to form.
