Den's Gift, Seek The Fair Land and Buxton all went close on their latest starts and are worthy of consideration, while Leadenhall Lass and Wilfred Pickles arrive on the back of wins on the Polytrack and are others for the short-list. Red Yarn progressed well last year but Bowmaker has so far proved best on the all-weather and FREE FOR ALL is preferred. Sylvester Kirk's charge showed promise in a couple of starts in 2009 before scoring over 6f on his return from a lengthy absence and can make up for lost time by going in again on his handicap debut.
