Nellie The Elegant had Isdaal well behind when third here in November but she never looked like winning that day and her stable is going through a quiet spell. Nouailhas has run into a bit of form lately but he's crept up the weights without winning and this may be an insufficient test of stamina. Fontwell winner Zero Visibility was pulled up when favourite at Sedgefield while Ogaritmo has plenty of weight. This sharp track might suit CARROWBEG and, though Lawney Hill's charge has shown little so far, he could be worth a small interest in a modest finale.
