    Verdict

    Saute won at Market Rasen and Fontwell in August but has gone up a further 8lb since foiled by Houston Dynimo in his hat-trick bid. Smack That is inconsistent but DORMOUSE won twice on heavy ground last winter and has also scored on this quicker surface. He gets the vote on his reappearance as he has the beating of Chicklemix on Warwick running in February and is preferred to Tinseltown, who has been placed in four of his seven starts over timber nevertheless and may enjoy a fitness advantage over his rivals.
