It could pay to stick with NEW RICH in this. He has recorded all four wins to date over course and distance including his latest start when beating Douneedahand with Spowarticus further behind. The latter has since gone close at Wolverhampton with Seven Lucky Seven back in fifth. Moiety won her maiden over track and trip in October and has claims after a couple of failed attempts at Southwell while Evident began last year off a 15lb higher mark and could bounce back at any time.
