      Verdict

      Four recent Fibresand winners on show here, but it might not turn out as competitive as it looks on paper as IMPRIMIS TAGULA looks a cut above his rivals. Kieren Fallon takes over the reins as Alan Bailey's charge bids for a hat-trick having scored over C&D last week and beaten subsequent winner St Oswald four lengths here before that. Fluctuation couldn't cope with a rise in the weights last time after landing a double here in January, though he did finish in front of Piceno, and Beachwood Bay has gone up 5lb for his recent C&D win. Dream Win returns to action but was well beaten on both previous starts at this track.
