SPIC 'N SPAN has won seven times over C&D and has to race off a higher mark back on the Fibresand as a consequence. The booking of a 7lb claimer helps on that score, however, and Ron Harris' charge is taken to add to his tally. Elusive Warrior is another prolific winner at this track, but all nine victories have been over 7f, while Princess Dayna has failed to figure in a couple of starts since scoring over C&D in January. Premier League's sole win came over 6f here and recent Catterick winner Spirit Of Coniston is 8lb higher than his last win at this track in April. Colourbearer got off the mark at Wolverhampton last time and makes his Fibresand debut.
