Tobeeornottobee was raised 11lb for winning easily at Newcastle at the end of last year and came up short at Southwell a fortnight ago. Lingfield maiden winner PROBABILITY could only manage third at Kempton on her handicap debut but remains unexposed and she gets another chance with improvement likely. On The Line has undergone wind surgery since last in action in September and should be noted for any strong support on his return but Antonia Clara looks no nearer winning despite the good form of Stuart Williams’ yard and Sepahi is hard to recommend.
