Verdict
The four-year-old Less Is More is conceding plenty of weight all round having made a winning debut in October when scoring over track and trip. Scramble and We'renotreallyhere are the most exposed and the likes of Just A Spark and Ghost Lights may improve past them but SMASHER gets the vote. The latter ran well for fourth at Wolverhampton on his debut and the runner-up has subsequently boosted the form. The newcomer Crown Land is related to a couple of winners on the all-weather and is worth noting.
