Munaawib and BITAPHON stand out in this. Both finished second at the same meeting here last month and the former had scored at Wolverhampton beforehand. But the latter had won easily over track and trip in November and Mike Appleby's charge may just have the edge in this. Heidi's Delight is a course regular but her best efforts still fall some way short of the principals form. Just A Pound and Lutine Charlie have been placed on the Polytrack recently, but Knight Charm was well beaten on his only previous start at this venue.
