      Verdict

      Winning pointer Cavite Alpha is returning from a lengthy absence while Grasscutter and Jaffonnien look to have little chance on what they've shown so far. Nobunaga will have needed the run when pulled up over hurdles at Wincanton in January, however, and Qaspal is sure to strip fitter for his debut fourth over fences at Huntingdon 11 days ago. But DOESLESSTHANME sets a decent standard on the best of his form this winter and should be able to concede weight all round, despite not having scored since October.
