        Verdict

        QUAILS HOLLOW found a couple of subsequent winners too good at Chester last time and is the one to beat on that form. There's always a risk involved with Fibresand debutants, but Willie Haggas' impressive strike rate here tempers those doubts and his three-year-old gelding gets the vote. Zenarinda went close in handicap company last month and she could figure along with Cluain Dara if both take to the surface. Frolic Along is related to a Fibresand winner and should improve on her debut on the Flat at Folkestone and newcomer Fair Dinkum is worth noting.
