Verdict
BLOWING DIXIE is proving best on this surface having won on both previous visits. He’s penalised for last week’s course and distance success but won by over three lengths eased down and should go close again. Regal Mirage arrives in good form having won at Beverley last time but debuts on the Fibresand along with Sputnik Planum and Asian Angel, who both finished runner-up on their respective latest starts. Royal Cosmic has won here in the past and Into The Zone should be noted in the betting representing a yard with an impressive strike rate here.
