Verdict

AUTUMN TONIC finished clear of the rest when scoring over course and distance back in March. He’s struggled elsewhere since then but can race off the same winning mark on his return to this surface. Very First Blade is no stranger to winning on the Fibresand but Coiste Bodhar and Sarabi were both well beaten on their latest visits. All Or Nothin has tumbled down the weights since fourth here in May and the veteran pair Master Of Song and Interchoice Star have winning form on the track.
