Verdict
FEB THIRTYFIRST has won two of only four starts on the all-weather and bids for a hat-trick having landed a double over 2m at Lingfield. There looks more to come from him and he can shrug off a penalty. Novel Dancer scored over 1m4f here last month beating a couple of these but was beaten off today's higher mark last time while the progressive hurdler Thundering Home returns to the Flat on a decent mark. Par Three ran well over a shorter trip at Chelmsford last week and could also go well.
