Mayelf ended last year with a couple of placed efforts over 6f at Newcastle while Ubahha finished third over today’s trip at the same track last week. Glen Rosa gets a change of headgear after a couple of better efforts at Wolverhampton while Denzil's Laughing and ONALEDGE drop down a grade. The latter scored at Lingfield at this time last year and with last month’s comeback run over track and trip under his belt, Stuart Williams’ charge gets the vote.
