Verdict

Gorgeous General landed a double here back in March and beat Arzaak and Final Legacy on one of those occasions. He has every chance but so does NAVAJO DAWN, who notched-up a course and distance double in January and returns to the Fibresand for the first time since racing off a lower mark than her latest success. Melgate Magic has won over 6f here and Honey Gg has the past form on Fibresand while Archimedes found only one too good on his last visit here and is 7lb lower today.
