With the form lines working out from his maiden victory nicely RUBLEVKA STAR looks well treated on his handicap debut and he has the vote ahead of Impressible and Under Review. That success for the pick came over distance at Great Leighs and with a number of those he beat that day now rated higher than his own current mark he looks to have been treated leniently. Impressible ran with credit off a mark one pound lighter last time to grab second place late on and while he should go well again he might be better over six furlongs. The return to five furlongs looks to be the right call for Under Review who struggled over six last time out under a similar mark. His maiden win came over the minimum trip and he should handle the conditions. Rio Cobolo has been in good form this winter and has gone well here in the past and he could be overpriced for a runner with place claims but that's all he should get behind Rublevka Star.
