Spring Tonic showed enough last term to suggest he can win a race this year while Gabrial The Thug ran well on his debut at Chester only to disappoint on his latest start at York in October. TANAWAR has a fitness advantage over both having found only one too good at Wolverhampton earlier this month and he makes more appeal than Lingfield third Debdebdeb and the well-beaten Handiwork. The newcomers Speed Boogie and Burgoyne are both related to winners and worth a second glance in the betting.
