Bond Playboy has been running well on the Polytrack recently but does handle this surface just as well and is entitled to be thereabouts again but La Colline looks very well treated for her handicap debut and she gets the vote with Canadian Danehill rated the best of the rest. The selection has only had the two starts so far but built on a promising debut effort at Windsor when landing a Warwick maiden in good fashion last month. The William Haggas-trained filly has been given a mark of just 53 for her debut in this grade and, being American dirt bred, is likely to be fully at home on the Fibresand so she gets the vote. Elusive Warrior is gradually slipping down to a fair mark and has to be respected along with Favouring, who has gone well here before but may be a shade high in the weights at present. Top weight Canadian Danehill disappointed at Musselburgh when last seen and has not won for some time but has solid claims on the pick of his form. La Colline looks well treated though and she gets the vote on a surface that should suit.
