Verdict

Titian Boy won two handicaps over longer trips just over a year ago and will have needed his comeback in November so should do much better. Las Tunas has won around here and is another much better than he showed on his return to action last month while the former hunter Charlie Snow Angel made a promising reappearance at Hexham and looks likely to get into the action. ROXYFET had been threatening to score again before winning nicely at Sedgefield on Boxing Day, when Sky Full Of Stars was well beaten. He's turning out quickly under a 7lb penalty and looks the one to be on. Sultana Belle hasn't had much experience over fences but produced her best run for some time in a slightly better race at Sedgefield last time.
