Verdict
The market will almost certainly be the best guide here as Bollistick is the only one of these with previous experience but was a tailed-off last of 13 on his only start at Uttoxeter in November. Evan Williams' Penelope Pips is related to several staying chasers so may find this on the sharp side so we'll give a tentative vote to DAZZLING RITA, who is a half-sister to bumper winner Dazzling Jim so shouldn't be devoid of pace.
