None have experience of the Fibresand but Kevin Ryan has a good strike rate at the track and BALDWIN finished in front of Four Wheel Drive with Lonimoss Bareliere further behind when third at Thirsk last time. He gets the vote on that form ahead of Epona, beaten less than a length at Ayr on her latest outing. Requited went close at over the minimum trip at Wolverhampton in between modest efforts over 6f and a better effort is expected from the The Game Is On.
