All of these experience racing on the Fibresand for the first time. Zaza Zest has claims on her Turf form but was a well beaten runner-up at Wolverhampton last month. VIVRE LA REVE made the frame at the same track on her latest start, despite starting at 50/1, and may prove good enough in this. Fast Scat usually finds a couple too good but the newcomer Ace Of Marmalade would not have to be anything out of the ordinary to figure.
