OAKIDOAKI probably came up against a well-handicapped rival here last time. He could have done without a 2lb rise but is having only his third start over fences and can open his account. Touch Screen won at Lingfield in November but was then beaten off a lower mark than this at the same course. Money For Nothing is 0-28 under Rules while Little Windmill was beaten 15 lengths when second over track and trip three runs ago and is a pound higher.
