Verdict
Major Snugfit has had a run on the Flat since finishing third at Market Rasen but DR SHIROCCO might be the pick of the weights. He should reverse Newcastle running in April with Bestiarius being 6lb better off. Calliope won off a 16lb higher mark at Cartmel last year but recent efforts have left a bit to be desired. Cosheston will have needed his run at Bangor and looks the pick of the remainder.
