The return to 6f will, if anything, be a good thing for BRAZILIAN ROSE, who scored three times on the bounce over this trip at Newcastle in January. She was just touched off in a 7f handicap there recently and remains on a workable mark following a 1lb nudge. Supreme King did the job well at Kempton earlier this month and a 4lb rise looks more than manageable, so he is greatly respected. Gressington and Ziggy’s Condor are others to consider

A case can be made for virtually all of these but the vote goes to MR BALOO who is enjoying a fine start to the year and is weighted to bag a third success here. Recent C&D scorer Paradoxical heads the list of dangers, atlhough Caelan is also feared on the back of a promising Southwell fifth. Way To Dubai and Eden Storm need factoring in too.
