Windshear made a winning reappearance over 1m4f at Doncaster last year but failed to win again and may well find today's trip short enough nowadays. RESTORER also goes well fresh as he was having his first start for over a year when landing a Listed event at Newmarket in October. William Muir's charge is penalised for that success but is still preferred to Our Channel given the latter had a 7lb claimer on board when scoring over track and trip earlier this month ahead of Truth Or Dare. Passover made tremendous progress last year winning four of seven outings but was raised 16lb for October's easy win at Newbury while the front-running Noble Gift won on this card last year but is another who would prefer a longer trip.
