Madrinho acts on the surface but has proven best over 6f so far while Equidae has won here in the past and finished well ahead of Big City when scoring at Ayr a week ago for which he’s penalised. Moretti, Incentive and Stone Mason have more to prove on the Fibresand but DE BRUYNE HORSE has raced over course and distance twice before and won on both occasions. He’s been struggling on the Turf recently but the return to this surface should see him go close again.
