    Verdict

    Bob Tucker won at Worcester in October but hasn't been seen since and may struggle to give weight to a couple of these. Exotic Friend was only beaten half-a-length on the Polytrack at Lingfield on his debut under Rules while Saffron Prince, Dreams And Songs and Avidity have all shown promise. But ex-pointer BEAUJOLAIS will know what's required and hails from a yard that has a good record here with its bumper horses. He gets the nod though take note of any strong market support for Rebecca Curtis' newcomer Solo Jugadores.
