    Verdict

    None of these have ever won on the track so the initiative is still firmly with DUBAI HILLS, who has won his last four starts at Southwell going up a massive 30lb in the ratings as a consequence. Sioux Rising has run well on her two latest starts on Polytrack though both have been over 6f and that looks her trip. Captain Ramius looks the main threat as he came back from a break to run very well over 6f at Lingfield nine days ago and he once looked a very promising performer on this surface. Below Zero made little impression on his all-weather debut at Kempton in November but it's always a risk dismissing one of Mark Johnston's.
