The four-year-old SAMPHIRE COAST has only had the five starts and came good over track and trip last time. He beat Little Choosey easily enough with Powered well behind and has the scope to defy a 5lb rise in the weights. Playful Dude had General Tufto back in third when also scoring over course and distance and should go well again while Dose was placed at Wolverhampton recently but tries her luck on Fibresand for the first time. Afkar is a course winner back on a winning mark but all three wins to date have been over 7f.
