Champagne Mondays won a classified event over 6f here last time with Bawtry Lady beaten less than a length in third. The latter re-opposes on better terms today but this is more difficult while Dolly Dupree posted a better effort when placed on her Fibresand debut and could go well. Rusper Dreams made a winning start in handicaps when successful at Chelmsford and can figure if handling the surface but WAR AND GLORY is just preferred. She too debuts at the track having scored at Wolverhampton when handicapping for the first time but James Tate has good strike rate on the Fibresand and she gets the nod to go in again.
