The penalised IT’SMABIRTHDAY made a winning start over track and trip on Boxing Day when beating a horse rated 89. That’s looks strong form in this context and it’s difficult to see fourth-placed Full Speight reversing running with Archie Watson’s charge despite more favourable terms. Endowment finished closer over 6f here on her latest start and races over the minimum trip for the first time. She finished well ahead of Dress Circle but the latter’s stablemate Up To Speed may prove a bigger threat having shown early pace in both outings so far. Rodin is another dropping back down in trip and is preferred to the newcomers Sweet Talked and Diamonds Dream.
