Corporal Maddox has every chance on today's terms but arrives out of sorts and has yet to race on Fibresand. ALPHA TAURI hasn't been in the best of form either but all four of his earlier wins came over C&D and a repeat of July's second to Mingun Bell at this track would be good enough to land this. Imprimis Tagula and Masai Moon are both winners on the Fibresand and make more appeal than Brocklebank while Flying Pickets won a claimer over track and trip earlier in the year but faces higher rated rivals today. Lady Layla beat Llewellyn at Leicester last time and may figure if taking to the track.
