        Verdict

        The veteran General Tufto landed a division of this back in 2016 but hasn't won subsequently and CANDESTA has failed to score since winning one of last year's divisions. But the latter returns to the Fibresand for the first time since then and may well bounce back today racing off the same mark. Luath is another course and distance winner looking to end a long losing run while Irish raider Three Majors has won three times at Dundalk and debuts on this surface along with the less exposed Cottingham. Jennies Gem went close at Newcastle recently but will need to improve on his earlier efforts on the Fibresand if he's to figure.
