NEVER FOLDING was backed against an odds-on favourite on her debut at Wolverhampton so must have been showing something at home. She ran well, despite being hampered, and can reap the benefit of that experience here even though she is likely to be suited by further in time. Traveller was only beaten half a length at Chelmsford earlier this month but that was over an extra furlong and dropping back in distance may not suit on this sharper track. Widnes was third at Kempton in November but disappointed in a handicap there on his latest start and none of the others make much appeal.
