Tealissio was a well-beaten favourite when Jeano De Toulouse won over a shorter trip at Fontwell on Boxing Day. Lucy Wadham's charge enjoys a 6lb turnaround in the weights here but it's difficult to see how he can turn the tables. Boston Blue looks to have too much weight, as does plater Belle De Fontenay, but TULLYESKER HILL is interesting in his first handicap. He should go on to better things and finished a long way in front of last week's course and distance winner Kayf Moss when fourth to Deputy Dan at Chepstow two runs ago. The top weight gets the nod though He's The Daddy is only 4lb higher than when gaining a deserved first success at Towcester and should be thereabouts while Urcalin and Join The Clan are probably better than they've shown recently.
