TOTALIZE has managed to win six times on the Flat and over timber and is rated 144 over hurdles. He's scored on heavy going and, though unraced since a narrow defeat in a very tough handicap hurdle at Galway in July, looks the one to beat. Winning bumper Kelka has won three times over timber including on testing going but her pedigree is all about chasing so she's one to look forward to, especially with her allowance. Okey Dokey showed little between the flags or over hurdles but Irish raider Jennys Melody has won four times over timber, including twice on this track, and made an encouraging reappearance at Punchestown on New Year's Eve.
