Verdict

Plenty with a chance but Richard Fahey has sent out two of the last three winners and STAMP HILL should be thereabouts. He ended last year with a win on soft ground at Chester and makes his handicap debut along with Explosive Power. The latter won at Redcar in October before finding life tough in Listed company. Haley Bop is another well beaten in a Listed race last year but she had landed a double at Hamilton earlier when romping home in a handicap. Flying Pursuit and Desert Ruler are other winning handicappers while the latter's stablemate Candelisa, Reflektor and Ancient Astronaut are all maiden winners to note on their reappearance.
