Verdict
Related had already run three times before winning last year's renewal off a 6lb lower mark and has not raced since August. The progressive SPRING LOADED (NAP) makes more appeal having won five of his last seven starts including a hat-trick of Class 2 sprints on the all-weather. Paul D'Arcy's grey looks the one to beat raised only a further 2lb. Steelriver was behind the selection at Lingfield earlier and went close at Wolverhampton a fortnight ago when well ahead of Plucky Dip while Searchlight makes more appeal than Yeeoow in this grade having been narrowly beaten at Lingfield on his latest start. Secret Missile won at Chelmsford in October and could also go well.
