Exceling is the only course winner having gained her second success here earlier this month when she had MARSH BENHAM just over a length back in second. The latter will be 4lb better off and, as he was returning from a break, can reverse the form. Ringo Starlight was beaten three lengths by Exceling here in November but has since won at Southwell and will be 7lb better off. Silks Dream is still a maiden after nine starts but has been placed three times in slightly higher class while Bath winner Kensington Agent ran very well over 7f here earlier in the month. Judy's Park has been dropped 4lb and with her rider's claim can make her presence felt.
