ZAPPER CASS won over course and distance when last at this venue in November and is only 2lb higher. Another bold bid is expected as he also finished ahead of Warrior's Valley at Lingfield last month though the latter is back on a winning mark and showed a bit more on his latest start. Grisons is fitted with headgear for his Fibresand debut having returned a losing favourite at Lingfield recently while Red Stripes and stablemate Tan have past form at the track though both failed to figure in the same race at Wolverhampton last week.
