Verdict
Mark Usher runs two in this but BORN TO PLEASE might be the one to be on ahead of Dylan's Sea Song now she’s rediscovered her best form with Jack Tudor’s claim a further plus. Anightinlambourn steps up a grade but won easily at Wincanton last month so rates a threat while Poniente has been getting closer. Sexy Lot went up 15lb after completing a double at Chepstow in November and couldn’t cope at Hereford so a further 6lb rise has done her no favours. Llantara looks best of the rest having undergone wind surgery since last seen.
