Verdict
Supakalanistic and Aaron Lad are both raised in class off higher marks having won their latest starts at Southwell and Sedgefield respectively. But HEAD TO THE STARS won in this grade at Wincanton before running well again at Leicester and Henry Daly’s charge should be thereabouts at the finish. Course winner Molly Childers failed to cope with a big hike in the weights at Cheltenham in December though wasn’t disgraced and this is easier while Zanstra bounced back to form when narrowly beaten at Exeter last time. Volcanic has a shout back over hurdles and is preferred off his current mark to both Polydora and Malapie.
