Verdict

Chepstow bumper winner Dessinateur was fourth at Exeter in November in a race that’s worked out well. Any improvement on that would put him in the firing-line here. Canyouringmeback, a winning pointer, was second on his debut under Rules at Fontwell on Boxing Day. Canyon City won at Huntingdon in October and should handle conditions but BANJO GIRL is still on an upward curve with her only defeat this season coming in Listed company at Newbury. Flat winner The New Pharaoh didn’t far badly at Uttoxeter but this looks a tough start for Bangor bumper winner Passam.
