Fast Act returns to action off a 5lb higher mark having landed a double at the end of last year. Lydia's Place is upped a couple of grades after scoring at Beverley while Excessable is also raised in class having won at Thirsk recently. DAKOTA GOLD (NAP) was successful in this grade at the latter track on his reappearance and Michael Dods’ unexposed sprinter gets the nod to go in again, despite an 8lb higher mark. Hilary J ran well at Doncaster in October while Midnight Malibu was well ahead of Olivia Fallow when runner-up at Thirsk and looks best of the rest.
