      Verdict

      Royal Holiday has won seven times on the Fibresand though most of those wins came over a mile including his latest success in December. Greyfriarschorista is another prolific winner at the track though his latest victory came in a plating race last month. Alpha Tauri has done all his winning so far on this surface and can pop-up at any time though Be Royale still looks higher enough in the weights on recent form. But KHAJAALY was winning off a higher mark here at this time last year and he gets a tentative vote to come good again in this lower grade.
