Olympian Boy is a winner without a penalty having won a conditionals' race over track and trip last week and should be in the mix once again. But GILZEAN scored in this grade at Market Rasen in December and found only one too good when upped in class at Fakenham last time. Back at this level, Alex Hales' charge gets the nod. Ballyegan has yet to threaten despite finishing runner-up on a couple of occasions last month and Dazzling Rita remains 7lb higher than her win at Stratford in October.
