Viola Park has the only winning form on offer. He popped up at 33/1 at Wolverhampton with Tigerfish and Gentleman Giles behind, though both re-oppose on better terms. Auric Goldfinger went close at Kempton in October but has not figured in a couple of subsequent starts so a chance is taken on HOW’S LUCY showing further progress after posting a much better effort when runner-up here on her handicap debut.
