Verdict
Cooking Fat is a previous course winner and is back in the right grade after finding the company too hot at a foggy Haydock before Christmas. Lough Salt has been in good form at Wetherby this winter but it will be interesting to see how he copes away from his favourite track, though he is fancied to reverse running with Brian Boranha on much better terms. Cadoudoff appeared to be running into form at Wincanton and is nicely treated nowadays but CRACKING FIND should relish the step up in trip and, having got back to winning ways at the track last time, is fancied to win this for Sue Smith for the second year running.
