Garud was unfancied for his debut at Haydock, but went close to catching the winner despite running green and should figure in this contest. Dare To Dance also made a promising debut when beaten less than a length at Kempton and he'll be winning sooner rather than later. However, it was good to soft ground when DEAN SWIFT finished runner-up in a decent maiden at Newmarket in October and he's taken to make a winning reappearance with Brian Meehan's stable in fine form now. West Brit improved in testing ground at Windsor last time and better is expected from Eclipseoftheheart.
