Poker Gold and Artful Rogue finished practically upsides in the same race at Lingfield last time though neither threatened the winner. Racing's Dream made his debut in a better contest at Doncaster in October and should figure along with Turnbury, fourth at Kempton last month to Groovejet, who has since won a handicap. But SPECIAL MISS makes most appeal on her two length defeat at Kempton as she caught the eye making up lots of ground from the back of the field and Marco Botti's filly gets the nod.
