Only 3lb separating the field on official figures. EMMAN BEE won at Lingfield before going very close in soft ground at Nottingham on her latest start and a 5lb rise may not be enough to stop her forward momentum. John Gallagher's filly gets the nod ahead Take Two. The latter has every chance on his recent head defeat in testing going at Haydock while Chrissycross won a nursery at Southwell in December but is 11lb higher on her return. Richard Hannon runs two but City Dazzler didn't perform in slow ground on a trip to Ireland last year and Flavius Victor hasn't raced since August.
