Verdict
Many of these have been awaiting better ground in an open contest in which both Achimota and Night In Milan are of interest despite being better known for their respective exploits over fences. Chantara Rose, second here to course specialist Iron Butterfly on her latest start in December, is also well respected despite having hitherto preserved maiden status. Howaboutnow has claims at his best but has shown little after an absence and a chance is taken with HORSTED VALLEY. He's another to have disappointed after an absence but the Greatrex inmate would be a major player if recapturing his winning form from the spring of 2015.
