Lord Of The Glen made all to win over track and trip last month but found WIFF WAFF too good back here last time. The latter has missed out on a hat-trick subsequently but Stuart Williams’ charge can return to winning ways in this. Kodi Beach is less exposed and makes his handicap debut having won a maiden race at Southwell on his latest start.

Wiff Waff Evensfav (9-12) Raced keenly, chased leaders on inside, went 2nd over 1f out, every chance inside final furlong, hung left and weakened towards finish, 3rd of 5, 1 1/4l behind Becker (9-7) at Kempton 5f hcp (5) pol in Jan.
Lord Of The Glen 6-4 (9-7) Tracked leader, pushed along and unable to quicken halfway, ridden and kept on to go 2nd close home, 2nd of 3, 2 1/4l behind Wiff Waff (9-1) at Newcastle 5f hcp (5) pol in Jan.
