Castle Myth won a claimer here when stepped up to 1m4f but is facing stiffer competition today including the consistent Country Road, who scored at Wolverhampton in November and could figure back on this surface. Another in good form on the Polytrack is Scary Movie, who is lightly-raced for his age and making his Fibresand debut. TRIP THE LIGHT has gone well here before and his latest victory came in a claimer at York in May. His recent form is nothing to shout about but the drop back into this grade could see a return to winning ways.
