This looks a decent race for the prize money. Fisher Green made a winning debut over track and trip earlier this month while only a short-head separated Buying Trouble and Arcanada at Wolverhampton last month. Chelsea Lad won a Newmarket maiden in October and Bedrock ended his first campaign with victory at Newbury. White Shaheen and Kylla Instinct have already won this year and Invermere is another in with a shout as she didn't run a bad race last year. Column and TAQWAA head the weights but both impressed with wide-margin victories when last seen. Richard Hannon's colt is the more exposed but guaranteed to handle any give in the ground and he can make a winning reappearance.
