Verdict
Here's Herbi has won three times around here including from higher marks and looked on the way back at Taunton last month. Sexy Lot went up 15lb for completing a double in November but made a bold bid for a hat-trick when just failing on testing ground at Hereford for which she's up another 6lb. MAJESTIC MERLIN made his handicap debut at Wincanton where he was well supported. He only just failed to concede the winner 13lb and with that experience under his belt can go one better. Fearless Fracas is progressing but has plenty of weight for his handicap debut while Frenchy Du Large has been well beaten into second the last twice. Ruby Yeats ended the last campaign with a double and will have come on markedly for her return to action at Sandown last month.
