Woodacre's absence since finishing second over C&D in September has to be a worry but his form is better than that of Sedgefield second Be Devious, who was very green on debut and may need more time. Jennie Candlish saddled the bumper winner at the last meeting here and has another likely sort in WAKE YOUR DREAMS, who is from the same family as the versatile Karanja - he can make a winning debut. Presenting Paddy may be best of the rest.
