First Rock makes a quick reappearance having failed to prevent Storm Hawk landing a double over 2m at this track on Thursday. The drop back in trip is not sure to suit, though, and C&D winner IRISH JUGGER makes more appeal. He showed a bit more when third here last month and is fancied to return to winning ways. Bow River Arch is not without a chance if back to her best, but Jasmeno makes her Fibresand debut and Brunello has shown nothing to date.
