GUROOR continues to improve having shrugged off a rise in the weights for an earlier win at Wolverhampton to score with plenty in hand at Kempton last time. A hat-trick looks a distinct possibility despite a further rise. Renardeau should go well again having won over track and trip a week ago but Contingency Fee has ran poorly at Southwell either side of scoring at the same track. Adams Park and the veteran Continuum are harder to fancy with the former having yet to win on the Flat and the latter without a win since 2014.
Renardeau 25-1 (9-1) Close up, pushed along to chase leaders 2f out, ridden to lead just inside final furlong, ridden out, won at Lingfield 1m 4f hcp (5) pol in Dec beating Matewan (9-10) by 3/4l, 8 ran.
Guroor 2-1fav (9-3) Tracked leaders, headway on outside over 1f out, soon ridden, led inside final furlong, ran on, won at Kempton 1m 3f hcp (5) pol in Nov beating Margie's Choice (9-3) by 2l, 12 ran.
Contingency Fee 3-1jfav (9-9) In touch, ridden over 2f out, kept on same pace, no chance with leaders from over 1f out, 4th of 8, 11l behind Angel Lane (9-1) at Southwell 1m 4f hcp (5) pol in Dec.
Adams Park 16-1 (9-8) Tracked leading pair, went 2nd halfway, led 3f out, ridden and headed inside final 2f, kept on, outpaced inside final furlong, 4th of 8, 3 3/4l behind Inteldream (9-1) at Wolverhampton 1m 6f hcp (5) pol in Nov.
Continuum 11-1 (10-1) Dwelt towards rear, ridden and kept on final furlong, never near leaders, 6th of 12, 6 1/4l behind Giving Back (10-1) at Lingfield 2m hcp (6) pol in Nov.
