BIVOUAC has already won four times on Fibresand at distances up to 1m6f. His record under NH rules isn't as impressive but he may still have the measure of Master Fong on this surface. The latter won a maiden hurdle at Uttoxeter in the spring but has struggled in better company since, finishing well beaten on his latest start at Haydock. Morocchius won three times on the Flat last year and has shown a little promise in two starts over timber. But just as interesting is Highway Code, who was a good second over hurdles at Uttoxeter last month and could be suited by this surface.
