GHOST TRAIN looks sure to run his race having won over course and distance in December and placing here in a couple of subsequent starts. Copper Cavalier has a shout off his current mark but hasn’t raced since September while New Rich won off today's mark at Chelmsford in November and could also go well. Perfect Bounty remains in the handicapper’s grip while Whip Up A Frenzy continues his slide down the weights without showing any benefit so far.
