This is a competitive little affair that again appears to rest with those at head of the weights. Under wraps was highly tried last season after putting in an eye-catching run behind the useful Crocadee at Haydock last November, and has claims on that sort of form on this return to a more realistic level. However, it is hard to escape the claims of Lancastrian Jet if his stable's early season form is anything to go by. Henry Daly's charge likes to race up with the pace and will no doubt be forcing the issue if he is wound up for his reappearance. The underfoot conditions should be ideal for the 11-year-old and he just gets the TEAMtalk vote as the likeliest winner today. Hugo de Grez will be interesting if he is supported though. Fandango de Chassy is another to consider in the search for value and will not be found wanting for the lack of stamina, but he has a little to prove off an 8lb higher mark than when he was last successful.
