A poor contest where we will side with ELEANOR ELOISE to land the prize from Lost All Alone. The selection turns up here for just the second time, but seemed to enjoy herself back in October when beaten just half a length into fourth over course and distance. She went close over 7f at Kempton on her latest outing when she was just collared close to home and the drop back in trip looks a plus. With Jeremy Gask's runners in form we'll take her to win. Lost All Alone is well suited by Lingfield's sharp six furlongs, as evidenced by a win there last time, for which he carries a penalty. That will make this a fair bit tougher now and he does not look an easy ride so we will take him on. Tadlil has not won in five starts on artificial surfaces but he has run with enough credit in defeat to suggest that off this lowly mark he can probably take home some petrol money. Little Finch is tried here for the first time and has handled the surface well at the other three Polytrack racecourses, so there is hope for connections that a second career win might be the outcome. Pentandra and Double Carpet both need to improve even to take this shocking race and if you really must part with your cash then the suggestion is Eleanor Eloise.
