Hidden Stash failed to cope with a rise in the weights last time having landed a double before that while Swot was placed yet again when runner-up at Southwell. Sonnet Rose has been thereabouts at Lingfield recently but is now 10lb higher than her maiden success in December and JUMPING AROUND is preferred. The latter was competing off a 19lb higher mark at this time last year and last week’s second at Wolverhampton suggests Ian Williams’ filly can finally win a handicap off her current mark.
