Whiskey Lullaby looks a thorough stayer. She makes her handicap debut but will almost certainly benefit from a switch to fences and may find a couple too quick for her around here. Bullion Boss is 0-17 but took a further step forward when second over track and trip in November. Prussia With Love has had wind surgery since her third at Market Rasen and The Blame Game is fitted with cheekpieces as he steps up in trip. Arnica was second at Kelso last month but course winner Tokaramore has been chasing and Midnight Aurora has a bit to prove at present. OSCAR CLOUDS has been very lightly raced and had excuses on his handicap debut at Catterick. Dropped 2lb since, he may offer some value in a race like this.
