Verdict

Abi Scarlet's recent shock win came on the Fibresand only a fortnight after finishing last at Kempton on her debut. She's hard to call in this, while Man Of My Word has done all his all-weather racing at Southwell and is 5lb higher than December's win at that track. The handicapper has seen fit to raise GABRIAL'S BOUNTY 8lb for winning a handicap at Kempton last time and a line through one of the beaten horses gives Mick Channon's charge the beating of Chester'Slittlegem. The former looks capable of following up as Warwick maiden winner Pressure Drop hasn't raced since July.
