This looks really tricky given Hannahs Turn has looked in the grip of the handicapper since winning for the sixth time at this venue and has yet to score over today's longer trip. Arabian Flight has course form but in plating races and the remainder have yet to race on the surface. Penny Garcia hasn't raced since September but Gold Chain, a winner over 1m2f at Lingfield, has a recent run over hurdles under her belt. BROUGHTONS CHARM also scored at Lingfield in November but over today's distance so she gets the vote on her Fibresand debut.
