Beau Fighter bids for a hat-trick after a couple of wins at Southwell last month but has yet to show the same level of form on Polytrack. Jovial is also seeking a hat-trick after scoring here and at Lingfield in October but the handicapper has taken offence and he has to race off a 14lb higher mark on his return. ROANSTAR was sent off favourite for his seasonal debut at this track three weeks ago but looked in need of the run and Andrew Balding's charge is given another chance to fulfil the potential he showed last year. Room For A View makes most appeal of the remainder stepping back up to a more suitable trip.
