No winning form to consider and most of these step up in trip so plenty of guesswork needed. LAYERTHORPE appeared to see out the 1m2f when fifth at Wolverhampton in January and he gets a token vote on that flimsy basis while Safira Menina returned a losing favourite on her handicap bow over a mile and will be looking to make amends. Convicted was a well beaten fourth over 1m4f last time and Fit The Bill and Bollywood Dream may do better now handicapping. Rokbaan could prove best of the remainder.
