Sweet Bertie has been thereabouts over longer trips on the Polytrack recently but Critical Thinking was placed over 7f at Kempton last time. Sparkle In His Eye scored over track and trip before disappointing in an amateurs' race here and is not out of this but LUXY LOU (NAP) may prove the one to side with. The latter finished third at Southwell on her first outing since August and the first two home have both subsequently won. Inexplicable and Breckland look best of the rest.
