BEZOS didn’t take to the Fibresand at Southwell last time but had been in good form in handicaps before that and looks to have every chance at this level. Richard Hannon’s charge has plenty to spare on these terms with Zapateado, who has placed in claiming races the last twice, but Mother of Dragons has a chance at the weights on the back of a third in better company at Kempton. Laytown is one of the least exposed and could also go well.
