Haraka (5/4), Dream Team (5/2), Upgrade (6/1), Mia Cara (7/1), Whatsthemessage (11/1)
Three-year-old handicaps are always difficult at this time of the year although this doesn’t look that strong and the race probably lies between DREAM TEAM and Haraka both of whom have experience of this surface and are winners here. Dream Team looks to have the slightly more progressive form and to be a little more straightforward than Haraka and that earns him the nod here. Of the others Whatsthemessage needs respecting from the Dalgleish yard not least because they do well with their runners here but his sire (Bushranger) really does have a poor record on Fibresand. Mia Cara will need to improve to take a hand here but she at least has winning form although this is far tougher than her win last time out.
