TAJNEED and Irish Heartbeat are clear at the weights but only the former has experience on Fibresand. Dandy Nicholls' charge is at his best at this level and returned to action with victory in a Redcar seller earlier this month. He's preferred to Irish Heartbeat, who hasn't won a race since 2010 and failed to land the odds in a plating race at Lingfield last time. Course and distance winner Whisky Bravo comes out best of the rest on today's terms with the remainder hard to fancy.
