Verdict
Mayolynn beat Easton Clump by eight lengths at Leicester earlier this month but may struggle to confirm that form here on 10lb worse terms. Watergate was second off this mark at Folkestone in December but has had plenty of chances to break his duck, while Fidelor was beaten a long way when fourth over further at Leicester last time. Thunderstorm could be interesting now tackling handicaps, especially with Tony McCoy in the saddle, but we're going to take a chance on the lightly-raced ATARED. Pam Sly's mare was far from disgraced when sixth at Warwick on only her second start over timber and possibly found 2m3f too far at Market Rasen subsequently.
