Little Roxy made her reappearance at Lingfield in November but this is her track, with 14 of her 20 career starts having come here. She could make her presence felt receiving weight all round but might struggle to beat BEAU LAKE, who wore down favourite Smart Money at Lingfield just over three weeks ago and will again be helped by Gavin Sheehan's 3lb claim. Edmaaj has been a big disappointment so far but could go well in this grade and Osmosia returned to winning ways at Fontwell last month before a second over fences at Newbury. She's preferred to Benny The Swinger and the returning Kingsfold Flare.
