Verdict

The veteran San Antonio is holding his form well after winning here last month. But a 4lb rise for finishing second to Bentley last time leaves him looking vulnerable and EASTERN HILLS makes more appeal. The latter has been below par on the Polytrack of late, but December's defeat of Miss Bootylishes over C&D reads well enough and the return to this surface should see him back to his best. Nolecce has a chance judged on his best turf form and Madame Boot may be capable of better on her Fibresand debut after going close at Wolverhampton recently. The remainder are hard to fancy.
