Hail Tiberius failed in his hat-trick bid at Towcester in October and has been rested since. But this represents a drop in grade and Martin Keighley's charge has every chance of recapturing the winning thread if fully wound-up. But IKTIVIEW also has his sights lowered after a recent third at Catterick and may just be the better handicapped of the pair here. The remainder have all been largely out of sorts, though Walter De La Mare is fit from the all-weather and could have place prospects.
