Little Roxy landed some nice bets when making most on very heavy ground over the C&D a month ago and has only been raised 3lb. She had shown very little previously and the conditions may have been responsible for the improved form. Dansilver is very much a stayer on the Flat and scored over two miles at Wolverhampton in January. He has been beaten in sellers over timber and may find this on the short side. JUST BEWARE landed a slightly better handicap than this on good ground here in November by 10 lengths. She's been racing on ground much softer than she likes subsequently and can take this from just 4lb higher.
