High Grounds was a winner here in December but remains 8lb higher. Mackie Dee was beaten in a seller at Exeter but Do No Wrong could figure if fully primed following a break. Methusalar has shown enough to go close in a race like this but we’re happy to stick with BENITO after his demolition job at Chepstow. Tom Lacey’s five-year-old has been hit with an 11lb hike in the ratings but there should be more to come.
