Verdict
Haines has struggled since winning at Southwell in April and has not raced since August. BAYAN KASIRGA is preferred despite managing only fourth at Lingfield last time as she scored over track and trip before that and Richard Fahey's mare gets the nod. Celestial Bay also won over course and distance in November but has been beaten twice subsequently while Arthurs Secret's earlier win at Newcastle came over the longer trip of 2m. Competent remains unexposed and could go well.
