Willsy scored in soft ground at Bath earlier this month with RHYTHM AND BLUES a length behind. But the latter was making his handicap debut and, with more to come from Clive Cox’ colt, he’s fancied to turn the tables in this dropping down a grade. Mywayistheonlyway won a maiden race at Kempton in November and several winners have come out of the race. He can figure but Swirral Edge is upped 5lb on her reappearance having won at Ayr on her handicap debut in October. Maiden winner Lady Nayef may prove best of the rest.
