Verdict
BALLY SANDS won this 12 months ago and is 2lb lower. He looks to be returning to form at just the right time as he split Loughalder and Union Jack D'Ycy over track and trip last month and is better off with both taking into account Robbie Dunne's claim. Dark Glacier easily beat the selection at Uttoxeter in December but hasn't reproduced that form off higher mark since but Fourovakind enters calculations after an improved third at Chepstow as he's still unexposed. High Ron reserves his best for Southwell, however, while Trigger The Light clearly isn't the force of old. Jaunty Journey is well handicapped nowadays but has become unreliable.
