Sweet Street has travelled over from Ireland but appears to face a stiff task against less-exposed rivals. GAZETTE BOURGEOISE is the one that makes most appeal as she beat an improving subsequent winner at Hereford in January and was trying to give 8lb to a seasoned handicapper at Huntingdon later. She is also 7lb better off with the in-form So Said I for a half-length defeat at Exeter in November. Get A Tonic has placed twice at this level since completing a double at Uttoxeter but is having a first run over 3m under Rules, though has won a point. Holly Hartingo is on a steep upward curve and holds Miss Fairfax on the form book with the latter beating Eureka Creek at Exeter in January. Marsh Wren is bred for this trip and is another mare heading in the right direction.
