LIBERATION POINT looked better as the race wore on when making a winning start for this stable and, with more to come up in trip, he’s well fancied to defy a mark of 82 from the ideal draw in a race that lacks depth. The reliable Regal Mirage is the likeliest to capitalise if the selection underperforms, but Ace Rothstein could make his presence felt if he gets back on the up.

CRAZY LUCK has held her form well since scoring at Newbury in July and didn’t get the rub of the green when second at Salisbury a fortnight ago, so she’s worth a chance to get back to winning ways in a race that could set up nicely for her. Gale Force Maya is expected to be back on her game and Zim Baby is worth having on the radar returning from a short break.

GEMINGA showed plenty to work on when third in a decent Kempton novice in November and can defy a 10-month absence.

JUST HISS hasn’t been firing on all cylinders recently, but he has the ideal draw and has slipped to an appealing mark, so he’s worth chancing under a promising apprentice.

Most of the others, like the selection, have questions to answer, but the unexposed Barshaa looks a player along with Coul Kat, who scored on his only previous try over C&D.

PLAY SMARTER

SINGE ANGLAIS has been in good form and wasn’t seen to best effect at Thirsk 3 days ago.

Provided the pace is solid and the race doesn’t come too soon, he could get back to winning ways in an open handicap, so he’s marginally preferred to Mr Orange. Recent Catterick scorer Rebel Redemption is also one to consider under a penalty.
