Snow Conditions is upped in class off a higher mark having won over course and distance recently. Be My Sea has placed at Southwell and on soft ground at Doncaster recently and will find this surface fast enough and Kuriosa also won at Southwell before failing to figure at Bath. FERN OWL has won twice this year including over 1m4f here in February. He attempts 2m for the first time but is a brother to a winning hurdler/chaser and Hughie Morrison’s charge is fancied to stay the distance. Winter Spice was placed at Wolverhampton last time and makes most appeal of the remainder.
