Inaam is upped a further 5lb and takes on better opposition after winning over track and trip while Ginger Joe also faces a tougher task having only landed a seller at Southwell back in November. Beleave won a maiden here before some shenanigans in the stalls at Wolverhampton last time that left her still wearing a hood when the stalls opened. Foxinthehenhouse also had some excuse for a moderate effort last time as she was competing in much better company than this but TRODERO (NAP) gets the vote. She failed to get a clear run at Kempton on her handicap debut and looks worth another chance having won here earlier.
