DOWN TO EARTH returned to action with a maiden win at Nottingham and a winner has come out of the race. He should go close on his handicap debut with normal progress while With Approval's latest fourth over 7f here suggests the course and distance winner can also figure off his current mark. Gavarnie Encore went close at Kempton in December and should be sharper for last month's outing while the likes of Van Huysen and Sea Of Red are unexposed and capable of better.
