      Verdict

      Donny Briggs and Red Valerian Two have experience on Fibresand but both were well beaten and French import Sail Home failed to figure on the artificial surface at Deauville. Always De One has no worthwhile form to speak of, so this looks between Bull Five and LUCK OF THE DRAW. The former shaped well enough over today's distance at Kempton in August, but this longer trip should play to the strengths of Sir Mark Prescott's charge and he gets the nod.
