Verdict

Full Bloom scored at Kempton last month and makes his Fibresand debut, as does Lingfield claiming winner Daruband who had Beautiful Day back in second on that occasion. The latter may reverse the form today, however, as he's proven on the surface while Il Battista won over 7f at this track in October and should be thereabouts. Absolute Princess and PATRIOTIC won their maiden races over C&D earlier this year, but the vote goes to Chris Dwyer's charge today as he had subsequent winner Master Of Song back in second.
