Sober Sailor is a winner without a penalty having won a conditionals race at Fontwell a week ago and should go close again. Sweet'n'chic was placed over a longer trip here last time and is upped 3lb but Snippetydoodah can race off the same mark as when second at Fakenham in November. DING DING (NAP) failed in a bid for a hat-trick when unplaced at Sandown. But that was in Class 3 company and back at this level, Sheena West’s charge gets another chance having won over these obstacles earlier.
