Given the proviso she handles the testing ground, HOW'S BUSINESS is hard to oppose. She made a winning debut over fences at Wincanton in November on her return from a long lay-off and looks a cut above these including stablemate Dun See Dee, who was engaged to run at Uttoxeter yesterday. Fly Town also scored over fences at the first time of asking when successful at Fakenham, though the form doesn't look as strong as the selection's, while Alexander Road has shown little in three chase starts so far.
