Miss Thoughtful scored over the track and trip on her only visit here and has also won at Kempton. She's changed stables and may be a few pounds high while Our Oystercatcher, three-times a winner on Turf, has yet to score on an artificial surface though has now dropped to his lowest ever mark. HEY HO LET'S GO scored over 5f on Turf here in September and has been unlucky not to have won again in his last two starts. Unlucky in-runner at Kempton, he was reeled in close home over the track and trip on New Year's Eve and can get back to winning ways from the same mark. He holds Amnaa on that run while Desert Land's recent form has been over further.
