Elixsoft scored at Wolverhampton last week but has yet to win on the Fibresand and SUSIE JAVEA is preferred on this surface. The latter bids for a hat-trick of course and distance wins raised only 3lb for her latest success when a subsequent winner was back in third. Chetan has been threatening to get his head back in front while Naval Officer placed here on his first outing since 2018 and remains unexposed. Al Ozzdi is back on a winning mark and could figure if taking to the Fibresand.
