Vimy Ridge failed to win last year but has been thereabouts off similar marks recently. Kashtan has her first start since winning at Wolverhampton in October while Nezar has been off the track even longer having won a claimer at Ripon in June. DREAM FARR has the more recent form with a victory over today’s trip in between placed efforts over 5f. Ed Walker’s charge should be in the mix once again along with Bridge Builder, who beat Geoff Potts when scoring at Lingfield last month.
