Verdict

LAND OF WINTER beat little when scoring over 1m6f here a week ago though couldn’t have done it more easily. He’s upped in class carrying 6lb extra today but there looks plenty more to come from Rae Guest’s charge on this surface. Blowing Dixie won a lower grade contest over track and trip last month but Cold Harbour has won both previous starts on the Fibresand, though hasn’t raced since June. Dame Freya Stark made a winning start in handicaps over 1m2f at Yarmouth but debuts at the track along with Leicester winner Sea Of Mystery.
