Verdict
Debden Bank won this last year off a pound higher mark and goes well fresh. Tommie Beau probably needs a bit further but arrives off the back of a win at Plumpton, though was beaten by Shetland Bus at Fakenham in the autumn. Arizona Cardinal is back in the right grade but there is almost certainly more to come from KAYF HERNANDO over fences and he’s been waiting for this better ground. Good Work has been creeping up the weights without winning but deserves a change of luck while Lounge Lizard’s win at Catterick has been franked. Old Painless is not out of this either
