    Verdict

    BALLARD DOWN is the only one of these not to have raced on the Fibresand but he’s clear at the weights and can make a winning start for new connections if taking to the surface and running anywhere near his handicap mark. The veteran Mister Music won a couple of plating races at Wolverhampton last year and this is his level nowadays while Bedtime Bella landed a claimer over 6f here in November but has yet to race over this far. Prolific course winner Bond Angel arrives in good form having recently scored over track and trip to land a double and looks a threat in a tricky contest.
