In depth

Verdict

Flemi Two Toes has been beaten twice recently off today's mark, including over course and distance last month. He may find one too good again in the shape of BALLY SANDS, who ran a little better at Uttoxeter last time and is certainly handicapped to go close here if recapturing past form - a visor may help his cause. Noble Witness isn't out of this but Dunkelly Castle has been very disappointing so far this term and Tinelyra took a heavy fall at Towcester on Boxing Day. Tarraco finally completed a race at Lingfield in November but was still beaten 46 lengths.
