Stanley reappears after a break and, though successful at Nottingham in October, hasn't done as well as expected since his victories in Germany. Muqarred won a Southwell claimer last month but has been beaten twice in handicaps subsequently while Shearian completed a hat-trick on that track before finding a 9lb rise and a slightly higher grade too much for him. AUSPICION doesn't win often but scored over the track and trip in May and is 1lb lower today so a chance is taken that Tom Tate has him ready to roll after a break. All You is on the same mark as when scoring at Beverley in May and has been going well on Tapeta while Fine Example landed Class 6 handicaps at Musselburgh and Newcastle before a moderate run at Chelmsford.
