Verdict
Encore d'Or won at Chelmsford in November while Bowson Fred finished ahead of Lightscameraction when fifth in a conditions race at Newcastle but none of the above have raced on this surface before. Poyle Vinnie has won here and been thereabouts at Newcastle lately while Razin' Hell made all to beat MEADWAY over track and trip on New Year’s Day. The latter pair are both prolific course winners but Bryan Smart’s charge gets the vote to reverse latest running on today’s revised terms. The progressive Lady Nayef landed a hat-trick with a recent success at Lingfield and scored here before that but takes a big step up in class for this.
