        Verdict

        Most of these have form on the Fibresand including USTATH (NAP), who landed a hat-trick here in November and has been beaten less than a length at the track on his last couple of outings. Qaaraat beat Marwari over track and trip before placing over 6f while Gossip had the measure of Arzaak when winning here last month though the latter re-opposes on better terms. Scale Force also has form on this surface and is not badly treated.
