Verdict
Natty Night tries a new trip but won his maiden on soft ground. Present Value and the returning Jazz King are both tried in blinkers but Walkinthewoods has struggled off higher marks since scoring over 2m here in October. Pimlico Point won over track and trip last March and was third at Leicester in November on his only appearance since but it was soft going when KNOCKANORE won under Daryl Jacob at Carlisle six weeks ago and he has also been lightly raced. Imperial B G is also making his handicap debut but Pepe Le Moko was disappointing when well backed at Lingfield last month.
