Not much in the way of recent winning form though Frap scored off a higher mark at Leicester in October and Multigifted won over 6f here back in September. But BIG SHOES opened his account more recently when successful at Wolverhampton last month and could never get into the race after a slow start on the Fibresand at Southwell last time. Charlie Hills' charge gets another chance in this and is preferred to Daydream, placed on her last couple of outings. Better is expected from Kafoo now handicapping and he makes most appeal of the remainder.
