        Verdict

        Steel Helmet bids for a hat-trick having beaten runner-up Beechwood James and Tilsworth Sammy with Mount Cleshar well behind when scoring over 2m at Lingfield recently. But he’s yet to race on the Fibresand while Beechwood James was tailed off here on his racecourse debut. THAHAB IFRAJ won over 1m4f at the track back in April and has placed over 1m6f here subsequently. Alex Dunn’s winning hurdler doesn’t look badly treated on his return to the Fibresand and gets the vote. The remainder are harder to recommend though Forbidding has rejoined John Butler having won for the latter off today’s mark at Newcastle last year.
