In depth

Verdict

Take Your Partner got off the mark over 5f in a maiden here last month and he'll need to improve again on his handicap debut. Elusive Love has failed to build on his second over C&D in December when he had Speedy Joe just behind. The latter has also ran badly since, while Pineapple Pete and Heresellie look pretty exposed now. In contrast, RIDGEWAY HAWK is progressing well and looks the safest option having added to his earlier C&D success when beating These Dreams at Wolverhampton on his latest start. Mark Usher's charge can follow up here.
