        Verdict

        Last year’s winner Poyle Vinnie is returning from an absence on this occasion though is 2lb lower. Tricky Dicky found only Handsome Dude too good here last week and the latter’s trainer runs Robot Boy, who makes his Fibresand debut. Compas Scoobie also races here for the first time after finishing a close-up fourth at Newcastle but Foolaad scored over track and trip last month and is upped 6lb. MIDNIGHT MALIBU has now won both starts over course and distance with her victory here on New Year’s Day the latest. Raised only 2lb for this, Tim Easterby’s mare looks capable of making another bold bid.
