Verdict
NEIGE D'ANTAN is very consistent and gained her latest success here before just failing to hang on over slightly further at Kempton. She'll do her best again and is taken to get back on the winning trail. One Scoop Or Two arrives in good form having come with a late burst to score over the C&D in October and upped just 3lb can get competitive again.Gran Maestro scored on heavy ground in France and made a very promising debut for Ruth Carr here last month. With more to come he looks the main threat though Fame Again has won twice over the C&D and ran really well over a trip too short at Doncaster last time.
