Total Assets won over 3m2f at Kelso in heavy going and attracted support on her next start here but ran very poorly. The Orange Rogue is yet to win in 14 career starts under Rules but has been getting closer and should be thereabouts while Tikkandemickey is back in the grade he won in at Hexham in November and he's found stepping up in class too much to handle. STREETS OF PROMISE (NAP) completed a double over hurdles around this time last year and scored again over the smaller obstacles last month. He's only had two runs over fences and finished runner-up in the latest so this looks a good opportunity to gain his first success.
