Real Treasure still has some scope but the top weight will do well to score over this shorter trip after a lay-off. Josephine Malines was beaten in a claimer at Ludlow last month, while Himayna has to bounce back from a below-par effort at Uttoxeter in October. Try Cat and Can't Remember are others struggling for consistency but Laureate Des Loges may have needed her run at Ludlow in October, likewise AZIONE at Plumpton just over two weeks ago. That was the latter's first outing for almost a year yet she was still in the firing-line three out and the outing at least confirmed her current wellbeing - she gets a tentative vote.
