Verdict

Grey Destiny won over today’s trip at Wolverhampton last month and has scored here in the past. He should go well again but GENERAL TUFTO came up against the progressive Chamasay, due to run earlier on the card, when third over a mile here last time. A runner-up over course and distance in both starts prior to that, the veteran gets another chance in this. Quadriga won off a higher mark here at this time last year while course regular Fortinbrass has won four times on the Fibresand, though all four of those victories came over 6f.
