Jacbequick invariably goes well here and was staying on over slightly shorter at the last meeting. Maulesden May was in fine form last summer winning three times over this trip on good ground. She's only 1lb higher than her last victory and will be better for her comeback in March. X Rated has been confined to the all-weather for his last eight starts and almost made all at Lingfield on Thursday so he arrives in good form as does DETACHMENT. Les Eyre's charge hasn't had much racing for his age and gave an indication that there was more to come when staying on nicely over the track and trip last month - Jane Elliott's claim can see him gain his first success. Cadeau Magnifique is very consistent but hasn't been capable of finding a finishing burst.
