Symbiosis can give weight away all round to beat Lunar Eclipse, Misleain, and Another Jameson to name but a few. Winning form is very thin on the ground here, so only a modest vote goes to Symbiosis who had the misfortune to come up against Nicky Henderson's smart mare Amaretto Rose on her bumper bow at Warwick in October. Not disgraced in second, she has since run well enough to deserve her place at the head of the weights on this, her handicap debut. With not much to worry about in the way of opposition, she should pay to support today. Lunar Eclipse has struggled since creeping up the handicap, but might appreciate today's better ground, while Misleain is a shade high in the weights and is destined to go chasing soon. Another Jameson is another that will like the ground, having cost her supporters when tried on heavy going at Kelso. This is not a race to lose sleep over, and we nominate Symbiosis as the one to be on.
