REDROSEZORRO didn't win in 15 starts but ended the last campaign with a victory over 6f here before reappearing to score over that trip at Thirsk. He has another 4lb extra here and further to travel but he's run well over the trip on this track in the past and can complete a hat-trick. Clergyman has only ever won at Wolverhampton but La Sioux won here on his only start on Turf. The maiden Spinart has never raced over a trip this short but Essential won over the distance at Southwell in January. Presidential had some decent maiden form in Ireland and made a promising start for Roger Fell at Newcastle where he was staying on over the minimum trip.
