HENRY SMITH looks to have decent claims as he escapes a penalty for landing an apprentices' race over 1m4f here last week. He's preferred to Celestial Dancer, a runner-up at Wolverhampton last time and placed on the Fibresand earlier. Monopoli has done all his winning in plating races so far while Goal has not won on the Flat since 2013 though picked-up a selling hurdle at this venue last month. Frosty The Snowman never troubled the winner when third here recently but that was his first start since September and he can figure.
