Every Chance has just that if taking to the surface after placing at Wolverhampton last time. But several of today’s opposition have form on the Fibresand, not least Tatting. The prolific course winner beat Brigadoon over track and trip back in April but both of the above are returning from an absence and THROCKLEY is preferred. The latter won over 1m4f here in between modest efforts elsewhere and should go close on these terms. Stablemate Vivat Rex is another course winner but he has something to prove over this longer trip having won over a mile here early in the year.
